This, the latest double header in Cultivated Electronics Ltd ‘For The Floor’ series sees Scand resident Steve Allmann paired with Censor Music’s Alex Jann. Steve Allman gives us two tracks resplendent with doom and insect menace. Indeed, ‘Darkness’ with its vocodered vocals and skittish keys across isometric beats is everything you could want from a piece of floor-focussed electro. ‘Initiate Experiment’ comes from a similar place, but is more bottom heavy and has a sample that sounds like “oven ready”, which unfortunately puts me in mind of Boris Johnson and Brexit. Alex Jann’s two tracks are denser and move along like tank regiments implementing a scorched earth policy. ‘Mind Control Uses’ is the soundtrack to helicopter gunships flying low over abandoned farmland, while ‘Punish Room’, although slightly looser, still carries the threat of instant dance floor disorientation. Which is nice.
