Review: Long standing Bristol repper Hydro continues his thirst-quenching sub assault with three shadowy collaborative rollers. Drenched in mood, "Film Noir" is as smoky as a stressed out Sam Spade. "Mistrust" cuts through the haze with steppier, pneumatic beats that perforate the iced out pads in the background. Finally "Ephemeral" is all sub, kicks and rattling snares. The louder you play it, the better it gets.
Review: A magnificent meeting of minds here as Hydro and Halogenix (fresh from his three way collab with Sabre and Stray "Oblique") team up for another super smart release on Horizons Music. "Disillusioned" is dominated by a weighty, penetrating b-line which lurks below the crisp percussion and snapping breaks, with ominous fury. Deep, dark and menacing, this one's for the heads. Named after a town in Northern Italy on the border with Croatia, "Trieste" builds from a glimmering, spaced out, atmospheric intro into a stripped back piece of experimentalism. Sparse beats and rumbling subs are order of the day, with percussive ticks and rolling atmospheric sweeps.
