as a last installation for this, the artists chosen are top tier.

London's own Depth.Request resurfaces anew with another installment of its warehouse-imperative releases suggestively named Hostile Responses & Provocations. Serving as a conclusion to the series, Volume 3 boasts a welcomed 8 tracks against established 6, clocking in at two thirds of an hour. Contemporary strains of EBM and Techno merging in one solid and varied end product authored by some compelling additions to the label roster; all in all, the selection brings much to spark the interest with.

Tumbling toms, gloomy pads, and distant clanking of metal infused with whispers of demonic entities, according to Fairground Of Tears, is the incantation needed to make Lies Become Truth—a shadowy opener to the VA.

Following with an offer to ponder a No Tomorrow scenario, Kursk provides our thoughts a soundtrack wherein explosive halftime strikes combat abrasive arcs of stretched out air raid drones set under arrays of unsettling, bleeping patterns.

Electric jolt to a nervous system if nothing else, densely arranged kicks puncturing roars of maddening sirens and fluttering, insectoid hats make evident that G.xist takes the concept of Simulation Theory neither lightly nor calmly.

A stealth-went-wrong venture into hostile territory, tech-step hybrid Static shows Vanya Koreya make an assembly of galloping drums, clicky, breakneck-pace hats, echoing cold stabs, grimy basscillations and anxious, intruder-alert signals.

On Provoker, a satisfying EBM stomper and a 4/4 tracklist exclusive, MDD harkens to leather-clad and bottle-smash days of punk through direct, assertive pounds, persistently corrosive bass, whiplashing claps and unintelligible vocalizations abraded to din with distortion.

Effectively benumbing by way of impenitent linearity, Ryuji Takeuchi-devised Incoherent is a medley of incessant, acid-soaked thrashing and oppressive industrial factory ambiance, as loud in nature as is the quiet terror of a disturbed mind.

Sharply filtered utterances drowning in slick, expertly textured mechanoise across minty perc minutiae lent hedonistic breathing space—not one sample is out of place to a sci-fetishistic slowburner Bound by The Undertaker's Tapes.

Rounding things up with abundance of drive, Tunnel's melancholic in tone yet highly dance- functional feat Feeding The Beast stands out as an impeccable closer, its wildly bouncy upbeat arrangements and skin-penetrating layers of synths capable of making any night one to remember; rewind selecta!
