With his stock as a producer ever rising since footwork veritably invaded the wider electronic music world, DJ Rashad serves up another potent brew of high tempo sample daggering for Hyperdub after choice LPs for the likes of Lit City Trax and Ghettophiles in the past. There's a smooth quality to many of the tracks on offer here as Rashad gets ever more intimate with synthesis in his tracks, the tender chords on a track such as "Only One" softening out the edges of the rapid fire vocal triggering. It's not all sweetness and light, with the title track whipping up a nod to the raw nastiness of old Dance Mania with its farting bassline in the lead in to the track. Either way, across fourteen tracks you get a real feel for where one of the leading lights of the footwork scene is at.
