-Wet Will Always Dry -is the blistering début album by Blawan. Arriving 8 years after his first move, -Fram- for Hessle Audio - during which time he-s forged the Karenn duo with Pariah, set up his Ternesc label, and played to the biggest crowds of gurners in the world - Blawan-s first LP is a gnashing statement of intent that finds him sticking ever closer to what-s served him well thus far, while also folding in subtle new traces of his own vocals to great effect.

Like the recent Surgeon album, Luminosity Device, Blawan-s first album finds him tactfully in tune with his modular set-up after years of coal-face experimentation. The result is a sound that lies right on the biting point between clarity and distortion, delivering a thrillingly caustic experience for dancers already locked his martial swagger.

That biting point is fully in effect in the hovering search-and-destroy synth tone that snakes around opener Klade, and it continues to defines the albums strongest moments, from the whipsmart mix of T++-alike hydraulics and kinetic lead of Tasser to the virulent, Haswellian snarl and gobble of North, to the stark, skeletal dancer Stell and Kalosi-s napalm burn.

It-s arguably more difficult than ever for a techno artist to eke out their own sound nowadays, but that-s just what Blawan-s done with Wet Will Always Dry. Bravo.
