Review: Fear is the follow-up to Cardopusher's 2015 album, Manipulator, and it shows that the South American producer has really honed his craft. "Dreamjumping" sees him lay down a slinky, acid-tinged electro workout - replete with hardcore sampling chants - while on "Mind Eraser" and "Llegue Por La Noche", he goes into full-on menacing ebm techno mode. The tongue in cheek menace of electro oddball Otto Von Schirach's vocals on the latter track only adds to the sense of high camp. Despite these curveballs, Cardopusher knows how to command a dance floor, and the primal jack and deranged shrieks of "Forbidden Zone" would sound at home on Traxx's Nation, while "Idol Worship" cleverly reinvents the tough NY house of Nu Groove for a new world disorder.
