Boomkat review

Debut release from a long established Manchester posse of artists/DJs/producers/musicians including XXXY, LA77, and Woli Wols among their ranks. Many of you should be rightly intrigued by the XXXY track ‘All Over This’, one of his dubbed out Technoid Funky specials, while Grave Architecture also impresses with the skittering post-garage programming and choice oriental melodies of ‘Hassium’. Elsewhere, LA77 gives a lurching dubstep cut with warm ambient pads on ‘Cubed’. Special mention to the lovely screenprinted sleeve, too!
