Sid Le Rock / Sink Or Swim EP

Second time on hafendisko - Sidney S. Thompson aka Sid Le Rock gives us three more reasons why this Canadian is such a hot ticket these days.

Currently residing in Berlin - Le Rock has numerous killer releases under his belt, on labels such as Mute Records, Kompakt, My Favorite Robot, Shitkatapult, hafendisko and his own label Beachcoma.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. He also has an impressive back catalogue of Gringo Grinder and Pan/Tone releases. 

‘Beckon’ opens the Sink or Swim EP - a mid tempo chugger with a motorik beat, atmospheric pads and killer percussion. ‘Silent Service’ is darker in mood, a nervy rhythm works its magic around a pulsing, mutating synth. ‘Afloat’ owes more to italo and no-wave influences, an arpeggiated synth line battles with cosmic sounds and melodies, all tied together with another chugging beat that will work the dancers.
