Tundra (Pitchdrop Rework)
Released April 16 2025
Pitchdrop's 7-minute rework of Squarepusher's "Tundra" honors the darker drill 'n' bass works of the late 1990s.
Starting with a haunting reading of Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night," it declares a fight to the end, followed by 6 minutes of intense, drum heavy madness. The track features totally erratic samples, including a 1-minute, handcrafted drum solo, creating a sense of struggle against overwhelming forces.
Pitchdrop recommends listening to the song at high volume for the best experience, allowing either feelings of unease or deep engagement to come forward, and perhaps testing the ears of the listener for compatibility with his weird, mad vision.
