Review: Following on from their contribution to a Symbolism compilation last year, Black Girl/White Girl now put out a full release on one of Ben Sims' other labels, Hardgroove. Inspired by the primal end of techno, Humanism is a raucous but hugely enjoyable release. "Ascension" sees cut up vocal snippets spliced over a jacking rhythm and a forceful, filtered riff. There is a similar aesthetic at play on "Metaphysical", where a call-and-response vocal sample is set to a house groove. Meanwhile the duo lay bare their tribal techno influences on "Alpha Wave", with sparse drums and a rolling groove making for an impactful combination.
