Aqua Surf

Another Squid inks its way into existence. The new project from northern operator Accented Measures, whose synth tower stacks taller than the horizon it’s aimed at. A self made groove patroller, Aqua Surf releases four well swung jewels of power, an ode to motion, pressure, and late night systems thinking.

Each track is cut from the same cloth but bent at a slightly different curve, offering a focused glimpse into the Aqua Surf orbit. You’ll find heavy nods to the Quasimidi classics, early Korg rompers, quirky Roland workstations and lost dub style vocal fragments strung throughout the EPs play through. Ultimately, the record is a multi planetary trip built on MPC sequences, where swing does the steering and texture does the talking.

Functional but curious, these are tracks designed to travel through rooms, through bodies, through time slots where the lights stay low and the floor stays sweaty.
