When you find yourself in the clutches of an unforgiving winter, as we are here in NYC, nothing sounds better than ice cold beats. Andreas Angerer, aka Zero Crossing, delivers just that in his EP for Dance Data’s digital series. The Munich-based producer, who has been releasing his singular strain of abstract junglist explorations since the late 90s, presents a refined and introspective version of his sound on the ‘Brainwash’ EP.

The producer's dialed-in, surgically crafted breaks travel between wide-open expanses filled with cold air, reverb, and thick forests of sound. Here, the elements meet on solid ground—moments primed for patient dance floors. Shiken Hanzo's remix of “Death Fog” takes the track into hyperdrive, creating an aggressive and triumphant bookend to the record. This journey transports you from Zero Crossing's frozen lakes and snow-covered woods into Hanzo’s outer space orbit.
