Kila CD

Given the quality of Herva's last full-length, the Delsin-released Instant Broadcast, hopes are naturally high for this follow-up on Planet Mu. Kila was apparently produced using hardware and software modified by the Italian producer himself, as well as his usual weird and wonderful array of bizarre but brilliant samples. The result is a distinctive, thrillingly varied set that effortlessly blitzes hip-hop, house, techno, IDM, broken beat, bass music, ambient, glitch-hop and acid-fried electronica into a deliciously wild audio soup. It's arguably a little more soulful and curiously positive than previous outings, but retains his trademark wonkiness. Either way, it's arguably the last great album of 2015.
