about

Opener Heavy sets the tone and that tone is made of unsettling, softly clipping noise wall that raises in intensity until the outside world is successfully drowned out.

Hypnoskull, on the other hand, immediately unleashes widely hammering kicks to a startling effect, and as they shift between 2/3 and 3/3, the German lyrics flavored with a touch of distortion accompany them in a narrative—rather than singing—matter, which will certainly make this 80 BPM remix cater to those who remember the early Ant-Zen sound.

Ryuji Takeuchi's 10 BPM faster redefinition of Heavy goes well in hand with his recent offerings - it's a concrete work wherein 9/10 kicks strike a fair game under sandy claps and non-intrusive, almost rustling hats through a dense ambiance of digital wind, blowing through spacious halls of a colorless facility, long-abandoned and weathered beyond repair.

Situated deeply in low range, hostile throbbing that clearly tries to reach infrasonic waves effectively underlines panning swooshes in Amoroso's second original Ocean, which has about as bright and cheerful ambiance as does Pacific's Benthic zone.

Ontal's 127 BPM version sees graceful syncopation being applied to tall-walking kicks and abrasive, noise-shaped hats that are thrown against roaring, but gain-wise subdued wall of noise—a rather unusual number of this Serbian duo, the one that shows what industrial techno can be in the hands of those that aren't attached firmly to the genre's supposed codex.

Finally, Tomohiko Sagae opts to pace things at 130 BPM and provides us with direct, ruthless production that is aimed to wreak absolute havoc at a dancefloor and within the minds of unwary with straightforward 4/4 kicks, clanging of metal, distorted grinding of rusty gears and ghostly cries of restless souls of those who were too late to send out an S.O.S.

Removal EP "12
by 74185#

supported by 7 fans who also own “Heavy / Ocean”

Heavy-hitter from below, no. 74185pound slams some sinister singles. "The Walk" is a techno track trailing through industrial sounds, with plenty of gasping machinery. If it wasn't enough, you also have Tomohiko Sagae for strength and Katran for stealth. "Belial" beats its own path of electrotrash, slamming on distorted bass and kick drums for those wanting extra thump in their warehouse. Wash up before listening to this; you will get dirty from its filthy goodness. DJ Home Movies
