Rhys Fulber & Blush Response - Dissipate

Dirty kicks and metallic percussion punctuate a rolling 115bpm bassline on this track on the Corruption of Form EP from veteran producer Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Delerium, Conjure One) and Blush Response. Watch out for hard left turn the track makes halfway through: holy heck a key change! With a delicious bass stab on the turnarounds and broken kick patterns in the last third, this is a standout track on the Corruption of Form EP.

A dubby bassline and filtered claps drives this early-set roller from Colombian producer Mauro Diaz. The off-beat crash creates tension against the solid bass pattern and tight production makes this track a worthy addition to your set.

This slab of percussive techno mixing ping pong synth plucks and metallic strikes is my favorite track on the new album from the London-based, space-bar-avoiding Eamon Allen.

The rest of the album is patchy. The opening track 'Newphone' is a nice minimal tech groover but the other tracks didn't quite stick for me. While I applaud the wide variety of styles on display, veering from industrial to deep house to dubstep doesn't make for a cohesive listen in an album.

Eamon Allen shows inventiveness and creativity here but could benefit from a little more editing when choosing tracks.
