First up is the densely packed Surveillance by Artifact, a tune that combines jazzy double bass licks with hard-edged synth work, rolling, yet forward thinking drum grooves and twinges of organic instrumentation, all combining together to create a witches brew of sonic origami sure to set both floors and headphones alight. Black Barrel's Frenzy Mode utilises trendy high-pitched synth work alongside lovingly rendered modulated basslines, swing drum tracks and dark, stereoscopic, atmospheric sound effects creating a bouncy minimal number that is both dank and groovy. Kantyze's Morning Shake starts it life simmering in a vat of pure dread, with ominous vocal samples ushering the dutty, dutty bass consisting of both fast-mod reeses and classic Virus-esq hollowed out darkside styles. The drum beat rolls along perfectly complimenting the otherworldy sound design and general atmosphere of pervasive darkness. Under Pressure takes things into outer space with his techy, neuro influenced Under Pressure, a filmic Ed Rush and Optical Bacteria referencing beast of a tune that features resonant bassline science and effectation alongside deep sub laden depth charges and haunting breakdown pad work. Just Leaving by Whiney takes things into more organic proceedings with ethereal atmospherics combining with slap bass style samples before the tune reveals its techy, bass heavy rolling nature when it drops like a depth charge into a sonar bleep riddled dancefloor weapon ??" dark vocal effects and original sounding reesey bass work both present and correct.
