Honduran-American producer Pablo Paz has released two albums under his Dalibor Cruz alias this year: Riddled With Absence via Manchester label Natural Sciences and Result Of Shackle on local Chicago imprint American Erektors. In an interview with Joe Muggs for The Wire 448, Paz explains how lockdown and unemployment have spurred him on. During this period, he has created at an intense pace, his DIY noise-inspired raw techno sound evolving to incorporate elements of the music from his Honduran heritage. “Yeah it’s important to me 100 per cent to represent that,” he insists. “The conscious thought of how impressive I thought that music was and how lucky I was to grow up around it, intertwining with the sounds in my head.”

“Do Or Dwell” is a previously unheard track that was intended for Paz's most recent release, Riddled With Absence.
