Le Terrible EP reviewed by Resident Advisor

12 October 2011

By now, Frenchman Terence Fixmer is entrenched on Speedy J's Electric Deluxe imprint (and many others, too). This latest release is a good example of why. The title track leads off with a shivering bassline, one that's remarkably similar to that of Perc & Giorgio Gigli's "0165" under the Endless moniker. Like many genre tropes, it's probably been replicated—whether intentionally or not—for the simple fact that it works. Its chilly vibrations are crucial in establishing the track's dank atmosphere. Whereas "Concept" on the B-side carries a ghostlier feel, "Le Terrible" is distinctly industrial, with an ominous chiming on every off beat. The only melodic element of real note is—well...I don't really know what it is. A glassy tapping? A digitised frog croak? Whatever the case, this ineffable timbre vascillates grudgingly through the scale, commanding nearly all the tension as it goes.
