Al Wootton – Rhythm Archives (Trule) is a deep dive into the skeletal architecture of UK bass and techno—precise, minimal, and atmospheric.

The sound is tactile and textural: dub-inflected drum patterns skitter across sparse low-end, cloaked in reverb and tension. There's an archaeological feel to it—like uncovering ancient rhythms buried beneath layers of concrete and smoke. Each track is methodical, restrained, yet heavy with intent, as if documenting a lineage of sound through movement and echo.

Released on his own Trule label, Rhythm Archives feels curated with purpose—an exploration of sonic memory and spatial awareness. It’s club music with a scholar’s ear: raw but studied, gritty but clean, designed for both body and mind.
