Review: Ryan McKay follows up last year's Illusions release on Bek Audio with this ferocious affair. The title track is based on brutal, visceral kicks, whip lash percussion and a chilling, haunting synth line that is intertwined with a menacing vocal sample. "Be Free" is in a similar vein; its pounding rhythm has echoes of Chicago producers like Steve Poindexter and Mike Dunn, while the disturbed, wailing vocal only adds to the sense of urgent drama. Final track "Drumworks" is even tougher, with pounding drums and waves of steely percussion powered on by momentous snare rolls and blasts of white noise. It's one of the most effective techno releases of 2019.

Review: Techno must be in the McKay blood. Ryan, who has put out a few EPs on Drumccode, is the brother of the prolific producer Harvey McKay, known for his work on Cocoon, Soma and Relief. Based on "Illusions", he may now face some competition from his sibling. "Deception" is a firing percussive affair, underpinned by tough kicks and featuring wild riffs, while "Wound Kisser" sees Ryan opt for a slightly less abrasive approach thanks to its dreamy synths - even though in turn they are supported by a rough, pulsating groove. It's only a minor diversion though and "Deception Drum Tool" is an abrasive slice of peak time techno, bettered only by the title track's pounding kicks and freaky vocal samples.
