Pessimist - All Hope Lost (2021)

Four track from Pessimist, after a more ambient collaboration with Karim Maas (which was good), he's back to his more usual sound, with various elements of industrial/bass music, jungle, dub techno, dubstep, industrial tech... The four good tracks of this release called All Hope Lost have a dark and mysterious atmosphere. Good stuff.

Pessimist - Pessimist (2017)

I discovered Pessimist with the excellent 12'' Balaklava (in 2016), and the self-titled album he released last year (again on Blackest Ever Black) is also high quality stuff. Sowewhat dub techno with the addition of excellent jungle loops. Combining techno and drum & bass (I said "jungle" because I'd say it's quite old school sounding d & b) is not easy, but Pessimist masters it. With this album he's building an atmosphere that is like a wandering in an old factory/warehouse that is haunted by the echoes of the rave/soundsystem of the nights. I like it.
