Lowriders Recordings Vinilo y CD

Review: Rotterdam grime time: JLSXND7RS steps up with "Swift", a groaning, bleak jam with depth plunge bass tones that echo deep into the ground. Nico Lindsay provides the lyrical drama as he rifles through a sharp stream of conscious truths. Remix-wise Trends recharges the flow with a much more militant twist as AK47 snares cause serious damage. Loaded with instrumentals, all situations are covered here.

Review: Miguel Gil Tertre dusts off his Strand hat for some glitched-out IDM beat freakery. The title track sets the statement for the whole EP: a chaotic 8-bit brew of frenetic drums and over-layered data textures, it's instant insanity. Dig deeper for an array of weirded out compositions; the 22nd century jazz creativity of "Alvaro" and the mischievous mangled juke-meets-rave styles of "You Need A Friend" and the discordant Apparat-style stretches and bends of "Ana & I". Unique.
