126 BPM Review: Minneapolis producer Peter Lansky has previously excelled on Hotflush Recordings, delivering a pair of EPs heavily influenced not by his native dance music culture but three decades of UK bass music. While these inspirations are still evident on "I Need An Exit", the EP's two most arresting dancefloor cuts - the rapid-fire machine percussion, slamming bass-weight and psychedelic, acid-fired electronics of "Raw Stack" and "Export" - are closer in feel and style to Miami bass, Chicago Juke and the most bombastic Detroit electro. In comparison, "Sandboxing" is deeper and far more druggy, with Lansky flitting between elongated analogue bass and skittish bouts of hardcore breakbeats, while closing cut "Clear Data" wraps hushed ambient chords and creepy electronics around a blazed and blunted post-dubstep rhythm.
