Swedish producer – whose already appeared on Synewave, Planet Rhythm and several others – is latest signing to Chris Finke and Andy Hawes’ label and debuts with a strong four-tracker. The title cut is sturdy, stomping and quite malevolent with its dark, sphincter-jabbing riff. ‘Redeye’ is dark and boomy, while ‘Bats’ goes rattlingly tribal before dropping a jacking stomp into the jigsaw. ‘Response’ follows that percussive groove in a speed machine hung with old school colours.
