With the exception of some bitcrushing on the hilariously-titled “Fat Fetish,” Brazilian producer Innsyter’s newest album, Poison Life, sounds like it could’ve been made in the 70s. This is largely owed to the strangely funky basslines which can’t quite be nailed down as either electric or synthesized, dominate a good chunk of this album, giving it a feel not unlike disco/post-disco tunes.  

Sitting at nine tracks adding up to thirty-two minutes, it is a cohesive listening experience. “A-Env” revolves around a swelling bass and a manipulated thudding bass drum, “Cut Four” features twittering percussive synths, banged rhythms, and a beat obscured by what sounds like bubbles popping. The title track brings forth a demonic synth pad pattern that begets a spooky banger.

This relatively new record by Innsyter is great, but here’s the thing–it could’ve been released in almost any decade and it would still be great. Innsyter’s Poison Life is electronic dance music not only to dance to, but to think to.
