Off on a slightly different tangent to DMX Krew's more customary electronic-funk nuggets, this substantial six-tracker drives into darker, tougher and more abrasive, industrial techno-tinged territory for 'RAM Expansion', 'Division by Zero' and 'Experiment 5'. 'Quantum Computer' on the other hand submerges into a far more subdued, moody aurora. 'Bad Vibes' rounds off the proceedings with a hardcore-esque, almost ravey lil' breakbeat number. There have been a number of strong DMX releases in current times, but to our ears this ranks with the best of 'em. Thoroughly recommended. [Interstellar Sounds]
Ed flexes some darkside EBM electro-techno muscle with 'RAM Expansion'. He's right on the money with this one, feasting on early '90s-
era AFX, PCP or Anibaldi styles with the kind of table manners that sets this EP apart from pastiche. If you ask us, it's some of his best work in years, hitting up some proper darkside winners in mescal-flavoured sting of the title track and the highly-sprung 155bpm Analord rephlux of 'Bad Vibes', but to be fair they're all strong.
