YNG ZNG Lines of Light hits first with gated vocals and sub pulses leaping in and out for a deconstructed blend of Untold fighting Arca.
Bee Track is a hard drum tune you'd hear on London's FM pirate radio, only to never find it.
It Lives causes euphoric anxiety attacks if dropped correctly.
DOINK! is an epic grime riddim with futuristic sounds and a teasing structure, amplified by skillfully placed drum breaks.

For fans of Proc Fiskal, Sony's PS1, Rabit, and WWWINGS.

SUPPORT the mad Bristol Sound! Favorite track: Lines Of Light.

    Served up on a 12", put out in DIY style by the two on this new XRA-minded imprint, the two producer-extraordinaires come correct with four tracks of explosive experiments in sound and pressure.

    Kicking off with 'Lines Of Light Leave No Trace', we hear a kind of signalling of the madness that ensues when these two are let loose on the full range of dynamic and frequency range, from warped vocals that splash through the speakerbox like waves of granular sound shot through the matrix in hyperspeed, to speed-modulated rhythmix and lessons in tension-release.

    Now that you have been shot through the portal, it's time to get into it with the 2nd cut on this disc: Bee Track.
    Bee Track goes full insectoid over a steppin', shoulder-rolling percussive underbody, pure trip-ready sonics that will make you do the headspin, weather you're a b-boy/girl or not.
    Headnodding and foot-stepping is allowed, but this one's for the waistline too.
    This one's an absolute treat, and the perfect middle ground between hyper-futuristic sound design, and good old fashioned musicality / danceability. Test it out for yourself.

    Flip it, and you'll get the third slice of the madness:
    'It Lives' let's Annihilation type synthesis sway in a kind of nightmarish contortion of junglist breakbeat ruffage and dreadnaught ambience. Once again, this one plays perfectly with tension and release, something Bruce has made his artform, and something that lends itself really well to Lurka's unique, and forward-thinking way of mixing dynamics, sound-design, up-for-it rhythm conduction, and a knack for some of the most serious, cantankerous bass we've heard since Dilly did his damage with the Valve soundsystem - honestly, this one's ruff, tough and dangerous. Highly emotive gear.

    Last on this quadruple-threat of sonics and rhythms, we got 'DOINK!' and its final charge of overblown club sonics - shit, can I smell smoke? Something's burning I think?... Watch yer bassbins ladies and gentlemen.

    Hell of a disc.
    upfront copies right here, get 'em while they're hot.

about

Lurka and Bruce are present a new project under the label and alias XRA.

Capturing the unstoppable energy of the hardcore continuum, within a razor sharp frame of IDM kinetics; lean, mean with a little bit of serene.
