‘Not Waving’

Not Waving is the solo alias of London-via-Italy producer Alessio Natalizia. Since 2013, Natalizia has released the murky atmospherics of debut Umwelt, followed by the sublime, cassette-only Redacted, the hazy, stargazing experiments of his Human Capabilities album and the ice-cool sci-fi techno of the Intercepts split LP with Pye Corner Audio.

Each of these showcased his impressive stylistic scope, but it might be on the Voices series, initially a trio of low-key cassettes that were compiled into one release, that you can successfully gage the breadth and depth of his musical experiments. His evocative analogue electronics swerve from wistful analogue distortion to jerking EBM club slammers, a style that has found a fitting home on his closely affiliated label Diagonal (Powell, Shit & Shine).
