    Alan Fitzpatrick - Falling Down Alan Fitzpatrick - Falling Down
    Alan Fitzpatrick - Falling Down There was a time when an Alan Fitzpatrick record was an Alan Fitzpatrick record. Most of his music for Drumcode and his own 8 Sided Dice didn't stray too far from the punchy techno minimalism that defines those labels, but in the past couple of years his style has started to wander. The Englishman's Hotflush debut, Falling Down, unfurls with sumptuous layers of melody and texture while pulling the leash on his hell-for-leather instincts.

    "Falling Down," with its solemn thump and clean lines, resembles a downbeat DJ Bone track. Its arpeggiated synths swell and sink gracefully—it never arrives at the peak that it gestures towards, with Fitzpatrick wisely leaving the promise unfulfilled. "Vanishing" is a little softer, drifting on a rhythmic swell of milky synths and a barely-there vocal loop. As is the case with "Falling Down," there's a fluency here that Fitzpatrick has recently stirred into his music; it's not often you can say that you've lost yourself in one of his tracks. Auden's remix of "Falling Down" shatters Fitzpatrick's drums and shrouds the arpeggio with cloudy, ambient synths that turn the original's dead-ahead stomp into an entrancing piece of broken techno.
