No arsing around here. As the title suggests, these tracks aren’t for easy listening. Ben Pest’s double header is characterised by bass heavy beats, distorted vocals and an urgent syncopation, all of which fuse together in his sonic blast furnace. ‘Who Would Have Thought This’ is the heavier of the two, with ‘26 Hybrid’ being more fleshed out. Maelstrom’s ‘ASCII TWINS’ has a marshal feel to it, underpinned by linear percussion and overseen by apocalyptic synth flourishes. ‘PERMANENCY’ takes the electro train and is all tightly wound and compressed. Denser than dense, this release feels like a quartet made for a fetish club.
