Animistic Beliefs' January 2018 debut, "Sinuous Gullies" on Between Places, flew out of stores almost as soon as it arrived. We'd expect this delayed follow-up on Cultivated Electronics to be similarly popular. Opener "Molucca Quake" is particularly potent, with the pair wrapping Drexciyan electronics, ghostly synth sweeps and a pulsating analogue bassline around a rubbery four-to-the-floor groove. The accompanying Exaltics remix - a throbbing, acid-fired peak-time workout - is, if anything, even better. Elsewhere, the duo serves up a trio of varied but suitably elastic and bass-heavy electro workouts to satisfy DJs who like their beats broken, robotic and futuristic.
