Review: If you're interested in finding out where underground house has evolved to, you could do worse than checking the latest release from DrumTalk. By turns bouncy and funky, abstract and extreme, it moves through many moods and tones, often in the course of the same track. "Halo" starts off with shuffling drums and a stepping rhythm before veering into icy chords and acidic licks. "Euphonia" channels chiming house bells and fuses them with a storming techno rhythm, while "Everything" balances the belligerent sub-bass with a cut-up rhythm. Best of all though is "Ishtar", a soupy combination of glitchy percussion, broken down beats and a molten lava bassline.
