It is always nice to get an update from sometime Border Community collaborator Dextro: the latest tells of forthcoming EP ‘Zero Circle’, which will see a limited-edition-of-200 12″ release on his own 16k Records label on May 17th. As well as the uplifting original version of Ring Cycle (which will already be familiar to converts to his life-affirming Winded album) and a bonus live version, Dextro auteur Ewan has drafted in a trio of remix support in the form of Numbers‘ TVO, Socco Chico and Anticon‘s Alias (who takes on alternative ‘Winded’ track ‘The Pacifist’).

We’re particularly taken with the accompanying video to Ring Cycle, where a simple mirroring effect transforms footage shot by Ewan’s brother from the Tokyo monorail and “a very smooth bus” on the way to the airport into a series of magical otherworldly floating landscapes. The results are balletic, psychedelic, kaleidoscopic and hypnotic, one minute recalling expensive CGI, the next bringing to mind Fuck Buttons’ signature artwork geometry. I could literally watch this stuff for hours:

Any Polish readers out there (you never know!) might be interested to know that Ewan is bringing his one-man-band Dextro live show to Poland this weekend, to the Bytomskie Centrum Kultury in Bytom this Saturday (25th April). But in the likely event that you can’t make that particular show, Ewan has also made a host of previous live sets available to download for everyone everywhere from the Dextro website. And hopefully there will be more live dates to come that are a little closer to home, provided that Ewan’s recently embarked upon PhD in Sociology doesn’t get in the way…
