For a release so diverse in its influences, Almost is a near impossibly cohesive introduction to emerging artist Null. Through melancholic, fragile compositions the Melbourne, Australia-based producer refocuses our attention on the mid 90s catch-all 'Electronica' through contemporary genres ranging from Jersey House to Footwork to Trap. Frequently derided, Electronica was posited as a homogenizing term for a rapidly proliferating host of electronic genres to the North American market, in much the same way that EDM exists today. Null explores a space in which he condenses the diversity of that genre, essentially attempting to create work that can wear the Electronica badge earnestly. Available as limited edition EP pressed on 'ultraclear' vinyl, the stunning techno-organic design of design firm Oval-X (How To Dress Well, Digitalism, CFCF) is presented in a heavy card sleeve with gloss finish and a metal' tamper-proof' security sticker. With Almost serving as an introduction to Null's considerable talent, he will expand his horizons further with a full album in late 2015.
