about

For the sixth release in their digital-only series, Asteroid Records continues to march into the unknown with a four-tracker that is both highly industrial and experimental in nature. With what can only be described as a chaotic massacre on a 16bit battlefield, disorienting opener Afghanistan incorporates distorted explosions and gun salvos, sudden changes in tempo and almost complete lack of predictable structure, letting us know just what kind of a producer the newly-arrived D.B.A.P. is—evidently, a fearless one. The follower Rave Boy, while clad with about the same amount of noise, superimposes a steady 4/4 beat against a sea of sizzling, crunching, shredding rhythms, making it a gloomy, misanthropic techno piece. Within his remix of Afghanistan, Manunkind condenses the spectrum, adds even more noise, and turns kicks into a more prominent element, letting them assault the subwoofer unrestrainedly, making this chaotic track even more bloody and gory. Rounding off the EP, Blasted takes it away with an energy-fueled Rave Boy Remix, where he lets syncopated kicks send their shockwaves of terror all across the mid-to-low range, while the abrasive hats run at quadruple tempos against a background of wildly roaring drones and glitchy grinding.
