Extend

Following up releases on Warp and Arcola, Extend is Milanese’s debut album proper. Steve Milanese's second album takes the schematic he ironed out for Warp a bit ago and sparks it through the dubstep bedrock, resulting in noir electronics. Extend is a dark brooding masterpiece of disjointed and distorted beats taking in influences like dancehall, grime, jungle and dubstep all through his own unique filter. Able to alternate between moments of high drama and throw away excess without a jarring transition, Extend sees Milanese offering up a vision that is from the darkest family-tree, but nonetheless exists in a world of its own.
