Verin Tools nasty bassline with a little acid feeling, rhythms spark & twist, bleeps come all over the place.. making a grand impact on the dancefloor.

[ Wex 10 ] “Pass Pass” - Dueling distorted vocals climb upward here above a track that still includes some truly haunting, darker depths. At the same time, a chattering escalation of sound whistles upwards, like the air itself is being pierced by the heights being aimed for here, yet the track never forgets to make room for thudding bass and upbeat energy.

Pascal Nuzzo “Heat” - The beats surround the listener out of the gate on this track, bouncing down and around before a tinny beat comes in, bringing an inventive trade-off between choppy clapping and low synth tones. Like being on the inside of some giant metallic tunnel, the ride here is as pleasurable to listen to as it is fun to see the new places it goes to

Subjects and Jon Hash “Hypster” - Currents of dark thrumming, and what sound like electric cicadas, gather under a tempo that rises around the listener here, delivering an excellent intro. As great as the first third is, the song then proceeds into more ethereal territory, with washes of sound crashed on by an occasional cymbal. This is then shaded in with waves of more synthesizers and vocals that only build on the canvas for more tides of thoroughly enjoyable music.

Deraout “Antidoto” - Crackling claps leap out of the gate here, which are quickly joined by some truly inventive company. A synthesizer approaches a dog’s bark, intense vocals come on like a waterfall, and rips of feedback punch through the harmony, all while maintaining high energy and heavy bass, which are always a sure bet when aiming for sure-fire crowd-pleasers.

Chris Colburn “Newt” - Opposites definitely attract on this track, with a hard thumping rolling out the carpet above a skipping high hat beneath it. The song explores deeper realms from the get-go, guiding the listener down a warbling pathway that comes off as only authoritative and insistent on keeping the tempo flying and thoroughly danceable.

Sasha Carrassi turns the lights out for the bubbling, moody and aggressive ʻTetrahertzʼ.

Neapolitan don MarkAntonio breaks out discordant synths for the freaky ʻNeed Breakʼ.

Luigi Madonna closes down the EP with subtle, classic dub touches in the brilliantly titled ʻPapershitʼ.

Gaetano Parisio rolls out shuffling drums and filtered stabs aplenty with his accomplished and upbeat ʻBlack Outʼ which marks the midway point of the EP
