The flipside, ‘Cyborg’, is a pumping techstepper, which merges tape-pack acid b-lines with the modern Reece chaos of techno’s more recent convergence with UK dubstep.

With all these guys on the track, you know the bar is set high. Don’t let the chilled beginnings of Dilligence lure you into a false sense of security because you’ll soon be smacked around the head with a bassline that’s verging on psychotic and beats ready to bring down anything that stands in the way. On the flip side, Russian producer Getz carries on where they left off with the rolling, relentless basslines of My Soul. I love how the vocal samples lend a feeling of despair to the music.
