Fledgling Australian label Cult Trip has enlisted Brooklyn producer J. Albert to deliver the second record in its discography, the Vertigo Contracto EP. The upcoming two-track effort will also serve as Albert’s official debut outing, and from the sound of the previews included below, it appears set to be an impressive one. Further bolstering that statement is “Intimate Setting,” a bonus cut Albert has sent along to serve as an additional preview to his upcoming debut. Spanning over nine minutes, the track is a forceful expedition into hardware techno, as the production’s gritty rhythms and brooding synth lines are sent through a stream of cycling phasers and saturated manipulation. “Intimate Setting” can be downloaded below before the NYC artist’s debut EP lands via Cult Trip on February 2.
