The temperatures dramatically decrease to freezing levels on the debut album from the artist calling himself HPC. Behind the name you find a Norwegian composer that already at a young age began to explore the different aspects of electronic music from psytrance to breakcore and noise. "Halfbreed" is an intense ride into seriously dark and cold electronic soundspheres. The isolationism of compatriot artist Biosphere shines through, though the feeling of isolation is executed via quite different angles. Only equation between the two Norwegians is their starting point in atmospheric ambience. Above the expressions of dark ambient, HPC creates a mixture of breakbeats, dubstep and heavy syncopated beats. At other moments the dark ambient fully develops only accompanied by distant dreamlike voices. Climax is the truly amazing sonic nightmare "Dissociate". Very promising debut indeed!
