Review: Ali Wells' label has become a buy on sight imprint for those seeking solace in techno's darkest corners - and this release by Parisian producer Mondkopf is no exception. "No Icons" echoes the sound of collapsing buildings, its slamming broken beats housing a noise that could well be a skyscraper being torn down. "Ruins" seethes with relentless percussion and titanium-plated beats, before exploding into a wall of static hiss. "33,000 Bells" meanwhile is downcast and eerie, its central riff coming across like a chming guitar submersed in post-Sandwell tunnel hypnotics. It hurries to a fuzzy finale, allowing the listener to finally draw their breath.
