Off the back of the lauded album for Stroboscopic Artefacts, Xhin enlists four malevolent reworkings from equally uncompromising artists. Surgeon takes the mantle first, with a cacophony of sheet-metal noise scraping over a militant techno pulse. Dadub meanwhile live up to their name with a broken take that maximises on delay and reverb to create its own kind of immersion. Pfirter is no less gentle with his panic-striken thumper, while Perc bats the ball straight out of the park with a slow and spacious freak-out rich in audible morsels for your ears to feast on. Essential.
