Heavy Reel At Juno Download

Review: Dave Clarke's Dutch production partner proves why he's such an in-demand name. "Armory" is peak time techno, as hissing percussion and a building siren riff combine over a pumping backing. It sounds like "Armory" has taken its cue from 90s releases on Synewave, but then contemporary touches, like the sound of what could be a Lear jet in ascent, provide a reminder of its freshness. "Uniform" is also informed by 90s techno; its searing acid and metallic snare bursts sound inspired by old Ausgang releases, but then the screeching, splintered riffs bring the listener back to 2012. Ben Sims provides a pumping, loopy take on the title track, while Sunil Sharpe impresses with a splintered, industrial take.
