Michal Wolski arrives with 'Derivate'. Clipped percussions arc and swoop around a throbbing 909 kick as a grinding bass and ragged open hats begin their dark business. Crystalline lead synths raise the tension and climax with a brutal filtered clap and jarring percussion.
‘Remorse' from Shcaa switches the gears. A journey into a clicking, hissing vortex of toms, wandering filtered bass, and impeccable vocal sampling. He wrangles an infectious groove, contending with phased splashes of water, menacing piano notes and squelching audio sprites.
Comute brings us back into the smoke and sweat with 'Black Pressure', a steadily rising freight train of a track. Rolling low toms and driving, merciless hats suddenly swing down as the chord bursts through.
WV closes the EP in fine style. 'Iinthecity' pits heaving, clinking drums against ricocheting chords. A prickly hat and clap hold steady as the song reaches its melodic climax.
