Review: Roc Jimenez de Cisneros returns to Editions Mego with his group of close collaborators under the Evol moniker - an outfit reserved solely for the most experimental shades of electronic music spanning all corners from noise to techno and musique concrete. Those smart folks over at Mego wrap up the package into a nice, neat ten-tracker including some of Evol's most daring work yet, categorised only as "Proper Headshrinker" 1-10. Evol set the bar high with an initial squelch of synth arpeggiations and move through the same waveform to create a pattern of insistent basslines which somehow morph into their own coherent shape. From faster to more deranged synth manipulations, the group have worked something of a spectacle, insisting on the same sound to paint their vivid, despairing portrayal of electronic music - one that's not immediately perceptible as a specific concept but sure as hell effective on the synapses. Daring and abstract works of fantasy for the brave of heart...
Review: The immense US D&B / dubstep phenomenon Evol Intent return with this new release "Hollow Earth" on their own imprint. The title track is as terrific and violent as you would expect; a growling vocal sample and promise of trouble kicks things off, with pumping drums, grizzled bass and gnarly subs adding pressure from below. "Da Choppa" pairs syncopated, glitchy rhythms and mounting pressure with chopped up breaks, power bass and a frenzied cacophony of sounds. Not for the faint hearted, and fans of the Evol Intent sound will not be disappointed!
