Review:
Focusing resolutely on underground sounds, don't expect this compilation to deliver flavour of the month tunnel techno or tasteful drones. Instead, Substance have recruited Neil Landstrumm and Stick 430 to drop mental rave basslines over yelping analogue techno and drill'n'bass, and have persuaded Automatic Tasty to forgo his usual Drexciya-focused electro-bass for the warbling acid and Minnie Mouse on helium hardcore vocals of "Free All Parties Now!" If there is a common theme here, it is a love of rave and raving, and both Subhead and Smees bring this aesthetic to their wonky techno contributions. Ten Tracks is the ideal release for the outdoor party person.
