Description
2019, 12″ EP compilation, 3024.
The third volume in 3024’s “mini-compilation” series “FYE” is every bit as essential as its predecessors. Label chief Martyn sets the tone via superb EP opener “Recon”, a bass-heavy chunk of polyrhythmic techno smothered in Motor City electronics and toaster-warm chords. NKC steps up next with the no-nonsense, percussion-heavy tribal house workout “Honest Drums”, before Jacques Greene joins the dots between spacey ’90s IDM, post-dubstep and electro on the aurally attractive “Say Nothing”. Finally, Djoser rounds things off via the rumbling bass, layered tribal drums and looped, xylophone style melodies of “Wera”. – Juno
