On ‘Moments’ - Adam John delivers an EP of deep glitched out beats that are emotive and inspiring.
Each track on ‘Moments’ draws on a strong sense of mood and circumstance. ‘Tear This Up’ is a
midtempo breakbeat roller with dissonant atmospherics and strong leads, while ‘Fog’ & ‘Patience’
take the listener into downtempo IDM with more emphasis on tonal atmospherics, while ‘Fall In’ is a
standout track on the EP with it’s vocal led groove, almost chaotic synthesis and large pulsating
basslines. ‘Moments’ is an emotive journey, enjoyed by those ready to be moved.
Adam John - Perhaps better known by his DnB alias Kid Kryptic, and as head of Drum & Bass label,
Theoretic Records, Adam first released his disturbing brand of stuttering stomps on the notorious
darkstep/breakcore label Fear Records in 2002. Its success was soon followed by material for Killing
Sheep, Hardline, Evol Intent Recordings and the “Get Up” bootleg through Camouflage UK.
Soon Adam dove into other bass-heavy genres such as dubstep and glitch hop, finding a world of fresh
sounds on the more experimental end of the EDM spectrum. 2008 and 2009 saw his first releases with
a variety of hard-hitting indie labels around the nation, including Tuff Love Dubs, Filthy Digital, Shift
Recordings, Darkstep.org, Adversion and Zardonic Recordings.
