Winner compilation this, electronix from the Stateside featuring the long awaited re-appearance of the excellent Lexaunculpt, plus ace cuts from Context’s Ben Nevile and the relative unknowns, War Dialer, Caro and B Phenix. Distinct flavours permeate this 5-tracker: crunchy electroid structures and brilliantly progressive stepping noises, crisp beats come across like Carl Finlow battling it out with Dexter’s synthy stylings. This is a totally fresh project from the promising Orac collective, watch this space!
