Review: Two powerhouse British techno producers join forces on this thrilling six-track release, forging a unique sonic identity that blends alien sound design with deep rhythmic control. Opener 'AGNCY' sets it off with a broken beat structure and eerie, extraterrestrial textures. It's a fractured, glitchy techno cut that sounds like a signal intercepted from deep space. Unpredictable and captivating. 'BNKR follows with a brooding pulse; it's dark, haunted techno that creeps forward with tension. The groove is thick with atmosphere, like walking through a derelict industrial complex at night. Flip the record and 'GLSSDGGR' injects sharp electro energy into the mix. Buzzing with nimble synth work and punchy percussive hits, it adds a dose of movement and variety without breaking the cohesive mood. Closer 'TRBMB' is also a highlight. It is a slow-burning epic, steadily layering power and pressure into a dramatic, late-night climax. Together, the six tracks form a versatile, forward-thinking techno record that balances experimentation with dancefloor functionality.
