Perspectives From A Sterile Hellhole vinyl

Well, at least Keepsakes aka James Barrett is waving the techno flag for New Zealand, while most of his compatriots are delving in raucous levels of sub-bass. However, one thing that characterises Barrett's music is, indeed, the low frequencies, and this is true of his latest release, Perspectives From A Sterile Hellhole, out through his newly found Haven imprint. "Mind Your Manners Munted Millennial" is, as you'd expect, an absolute firebomb of a tune, banging its heavy kicks about the place with absolutely no care in the world, while "Maximum Mind Control" unleashes a deadly barrage of distorted synths on the floor. On the flip, "Pick 'Em Till They Bleed" is the Container sort of techno, dishing out toxic bass like DJAX used to; the Ansome remix breaks the groove and uses new levels of duttiness to destroy the place.
