Review

Richie Hawtin's label continues its reinvention from minimal mainstay to a more abrasive approach. Granted, in places on "The Monikker", there are reminders of Minus' recent past. In particular, the stripped back rhythm and big break down of "The Devil In White" are redolent of the mid 00s. In the main however, this is a contemporary affair: the shaking percussion and sullen acid lines of "Acid Shuffle" are a precursor for "In the Dark", which juggernauts its way into a 303-led, bassy climax. But the most intense cut, "Wise Guys With Ray Guns", sees Blakk deliver the kind of belching bass intensity and claustrophobic, corrosive groove as industrial producers like Orphx.
