Having knocked some serious bangers out the park already for Kneaded Pains, it’s a welcome return to the label for Luciid, dropping a pair of heavy hitters of the ‘808Hate’ single.

Laced with hardcore rave tropes, Luciid’s pounding and panel beating breakbeats are not for the feint hearted, and he deploys huge drops and battering drums all over the title track ‘808Hate’.

Accompanying cut ‘Jack’s Hammer’ certainly doesn’t drop the ferocity or intensity, as another round of breakneck beats slap the listener around the chops whilst its vocal instructs that due praise to be given.

Hotly tipped hard techno DJ/producer Luciid takes no prisoners on his latest single for Kneaded Pains.  ‘Paro Hour’ exhibits the trademark intensity that has shaped the young producers sound and stamped onto releases for Suara, CRISIS OF MAN, Autektone Records and T-Minus Records, as well as recent remixes of Dubfire and Eats Everything.

‘Paro Hour’ also acts as a precursor to a new label to come from Luciid and Dense & Pika’s Alex Jones called A G O N Y, launching soon. Until then, this latest single pounds hard and ferocious, dealing up horror techno and frenetic hardcore beats with aplomb, and a taster of things to come on their new imprint.

Sitting atop the Beatport Hard Techno Top 10 for the last month with the #1 hit single ‘Paro Hour’, the hotly tipped Luciid follows up with another blazing release for Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains label.

Tapping into the thirst for the harder side of the techno sound, Luciid is quickly establishing himself as a master of the genre via releases for Suara, CRISIS OF MAN, Autektone Records and T-Minus Records, as well as recent remixes of Dubfire and Eats Everything.

‘Hellfire’ takes no prisoners, as pounding kicks come tumbling out the blocks and keeps on pummelling their way through deadly rave stabs, frenzied saw lead riffs and mangled vocals for a truly delirious and deranged monster of a track!
