Passed Me By / We Stay Together

Combining two highly acclaimed 2011 EPs, this release marked a profound stylistic shift for Manchester producer Andy Stott. Radically slowing down the tempo of traditional dub techno to a sludgy, mechanical crawl, the tracks utilize heavily processed vocal samples to create a terrifyingly dense, suffocating atmosphere. The compilation deeply influenced the subsequent 'outsider house' movement, establishing Stott as a master of industrial-tinged electronic dread.
