Review: Big moves from two of the biggest! Grooverider reactivates his Codename John project for this stealth release through Metalheadz. Active intermittently since 1994, the Codename John pseudonym has been an outlet for Grooverider to explore a darker style of steppy DnB that is filled with breakdowns and we are happy to see Metalheadz have coaxed some new material out of him. Fierce and unrelenting jump up vibes run through the title track, whilst "John & Tony" is a constantly mutating barrage through unpredictable bass movements and jagged, steppy drums. Grooverider saves the real screwface material for last though with "Saviour Selector" gleefully spilling with distorted bass and vintage junglist vibes.
