Self-described as "drum 'n' gnome," it is not so far-fetched to imagine Loto Retina as some fantastical creature who just happened to wander into this mortal realm – and their songs don't do a lot to refute this possibility. Their high-fructose music – which has been released on cult labels such as Orange Milk and Promesses – combines micro-sample chaos and gloopy bass with unpredictable percussion to create a congregation of organic and mechanical sounds. While there is a digitality to Loto Retina's sound – sometimes sounding like a pleasantly malfunctioning robot – it too holds an animistic and feral quality: this is music that growls as much as it grooves. For such an entity as Loto Retina, there may be no better venue than the sweaty basement of The Grey Space in the Middle. There, listen to their chimeric avant-gardener concatenations, performed across a multitude of ensnared sequencers, tangled MIDI-cables, well-worn samplers, and battered drum pads.
