Myk Derill is back on Knotweed. 

On the A side, Hard Smoke is a very deep and atmospheric affair. 

On the B side, its alternative mix and Sick Light are much more straightforward in-your-face agressive affairs... 

A release that can be used in different situations.

Juno Review: Knotweed welcomes back a label regular in A Thousand Details here and he once again delves deep into groovy machine funk. His high-impact sound is always intense but is never short on style. 'Hammersmith Conjunction' is up first and races out of the blocks on some surging, serene and Detroit-style techno. 'Ashbourne Grove' is a more heads-down affair for the dark of the night with paranoid synth patterns looping tightly over the cantering drums. 'Colorious' ups the ante with bristling percussive loops and 'Pimlico Astor' shuts down with some edginess that will keep you on your toes.
