Review: As per usual, Canada's Philthkids are up to no good, and it seems like the Modern Ruin label are up for causing a bit of trouble. These four spaced-out gun-slingers are the perfect form of juke music, an amalgamation of all the right elements of bass music into four grooves. "Open Up", for example, is only juke because of its beat flex, but the melodies and arrangement feels much closer to electro, or even house, while "Futura" has a bit of hardcore in its DNA. "Status 3" is a veritable dubstep number twisted into motion by complex percussive knots, and "Wanderers" is a modern take on tribal bass music that can make for an absolute stunner on the dance floor.
