A six pack of dexterous level chaos, and I mean in an organized way, otherwise how can it be accomplished? Breakbeats are the dominant motif here, but there’s all sorts going on around them. Sometimes they melt into drum and bass, sometimes not, but the hardcore continuum is pervasive here. I don't always go for this sort of stuff, but some of the noises here hit home. ‘Whatcha Lookin’ For’ has a lovely bottom heavy concave depth; ‘Proficiency Level Btanlee’ with its basic snares hits home because of its energy and the OTT dark rave backdrop; ‘Douille de Verveine’ is chilled but still fronts up, ‘Coleric’ has a great phased spoken word interlude, and ‘How the Turntables’ sounds like an interplanetary abattoir. All good then.
