about

Takes One To Know One is the third release from Australian drummer and producer Dialectic. On this latest EP of hybrid electronica he explores the nature of addictive and compulsive behavioural patterns, integrating his experiences as a social worker in the field of adolescent mental health and substance abuse. While all the hallmarks of his previous work are present and correct - complex rhythms, angular riffs and obscure samples - he also cites thinkers such as Gabor Maté and Brené Brown for inspiring his conceptual approach.

The EP’s lead track, Shoshin (“beginner’s mind”), invites you into the world of Zen meditation, a practice to which his father introduced him at a young age and remains close to heart for the artist. The music video aids in depicting the contrast between the stillness of a mind at peace and the racing thoughts that can plague our consciousness. The EP’s final track, Lean In To Discomfort, is highly instructive - the dissonances seem not to resolve, and yet there’s space to be found inside the groove for the listener to inhabit and observe the chaos all around.
