Review: If you're looking for a release that's different to run of the mill techno, Final Lap could be just the ticket. Based on a linear, slamming rhythm, it's the mad, tripped out textures that hang in the air - sounding like a mixture between a nightmare rave and eerie 'illbient' - that make it so compelling. The Josh Bartoli remix is more frenetic and deranged-sounding as dense, acid-flecked beats and screeching, gnarly riffs propel the listener through a series of build-ups and breakdowns. Electrorites' version is not quite as visceral, but here too grungy, stomping rhythms and churning filters prevail.
