‘What Is Zero?’ is a difficult to pigeonhole release that, I’m happy to say, feels very natural. Demonstrating elaborate second nature beat comprehension. The title track is proto hardcore, albeit polished and very much in the present moment. ‘Pulse Track’ is all bleeps and elaborate, urgent percussion, in spite of which it bounces along purposefully and cleanly. ‘Shadows In The Sunlight’ is one of those that you dread having to explain. “Is this electro or breaks?” I’m veering much more towards the latter due to the its busy nature. However, there’s a case to be made for the former. Just don’t find yourself standing next to me when its being played. ‘Kid Dynamite’ definitely finds itself in the fragmented category though, leaning on acid, amongst other things, to plot a steady course through choppy, wonky waters. And that’s just about it. A release that is nothing if not versatile and very danceable, with portentousness, funk, yelping and a different beat for each occasion. All very satisfying if you ask me; which you didn’t. Thankfully.
