Digital Native

rome's egisto sopor has been making little waves with his releases for quite a while now. as polysick he's released a cdr album on legowelt's strange life records and a cassette on the much admired 100% silk label. as theawayteam he's released a dvd 'relax & sleep' and a cd 'star kinship' on japanese label maomoo, and is also one half of the low key video unit aavv, whose work has graced many of the important releases of the new lo-fi electronic movement. 'digital native' is his first proper album, 15 tracks of glowing, nocturnal, analogue grace that hark back to acid house and early techno, but with a mood and intent that seem to be designed for watching images dance on closed eyelids. it's no surprise that his work as a video artist resonates so strongly with the music he makes. polysick has tapped straight into the synthetic pleasures of early dance music's otherworldly pulses, the hypnotic arpeggios of italo disco, soaring detroit chords, cosmic disco, the "4th world" music
