SSLEEPERHOLD
Grinding his way up the ranks of the American underground electronic scene, Los Angeles native José Cota introduces a fresh and heavy approach to synth-based composition known as SSLEEPERHOLD. Best known for his work as a member of darkwave trio Medio Mutante and more recently of duo BOAN, SSLEEPERHOLD is the result of a distinct effort to establish a new plateau of rage and relief. Exploring half-time swing rhythms, heavy metal breakdowns, and double-pedal kick drums, Cota’s complex bass-line sequences are punctuated by invasions of tape manipulation and the sounds of buckling steel, delivering a healthy dose of destruction within refinement.
