“Unkown Exception” on the A-side has been in gestation for quite some months and has undergone various transformations before reachning this primed edition. It’s a sultry, padded track that makes use of a slowed-down template before covering it in swathes of dub pads and a pulsating square bassline – the end result sounding like a midnight sound jam between Theo Parrish, Maurizio, Larry Heard and Burial. Halfway-through and the track starts to disintegrate, coming to a heady breakdown that leaves only a trail of delay before it comes to a halt – re-emerging with a minimal clank in 4/4 that you’d be more likely to find in a villalobos set than anywhere else. Over on the flipside ‘Massacre’ delivers a purist bass session in 4/4 that comes complete with super-loud dub stabs and another bassline that’s hard to fathom in one sitting.
