Ah, the ‘Sexworker EP’, whose track titles conjur up images of renegade androids giving out free gobbles in an upside down Mos Eisley Cantina. And if the tunes don’t conjure up images of robot depravity, then what will? For the most part this is a fifty/fifty techno/electro EP, with  ‘Intercosmic Lap Dance’ a piece of creeping dread and by far and away the best track here; and ‘Sex Worker’ a slightly more linear robo funk workout, occupying the electro corner.  Occupying the techno headspace are ‘Let Me Be Lonely’, with its soaring turbo bass driven vacuum cleaner riddims, and ‘Black Galaxy’, a collaboration withTrack Masta Lou of Scan 7. A track that feels like a thunder storm breaking out, but could be funkier if it dropped the bpms a tadge.
