Horn Porn, one of our new-blood artists really knows how to make techno and with this new EP, there's no other way of putting it: murderous, big room techno throughout! Every track you could imagine in a massive cavernous basement or warehouse gripping everyone by the proverbial balls and not letting go. From the original 'Old Sketch', which grows from start-to-finish, constantly building into a mouth-foaming, fist-punching, techno goliath, to the just as severe 'Chaos In Laos', dark, emotive, unforgiving, big room techno all the way.
But it doesn't stop there, the remixes come in with the same ferocity. N'veik's remix glitches out, throbbing into a frog-marching, groaning riot. Orel Kant's efforts supply subtlety, but still hold the dark enclaves of the original. Jerem Sidechain's comes in with massive percussion, almost industrial big room techno take you deep into a Berlin dungeon. And last but not least, Noods gets phrenetic: awkward percussion, big breakdown, growling vocal, take the listener to the darkest realms of 4/4!
