A bunch of goofy, made-up genre tags slapped onto the Bandcamp bios for Objekt and CCL mean both twist past stifling dance floor predictability with a bass music aficionado’s flair. Take Objekt, the former band-drumming, Native Instruments-developing, almost-IDM-producing DJ born in Japan, raised in Belgium, and learned in the ways of audio tech. He can split an EP with Dopplereffekt, go respectably ambient, and swerve dancehall with swag to spare. Meanwhile, CCL sorts their rekordbox collection with playlist titles like “Big Bassline Cowgirl Breaks.” Local support, Nick McDonnough and m. shogi, pull no punches.
