Its been a while since the last RSB release, but then tracks like this dont come along every day! For their first vinyl appearance on a label other than their own, enigmatic German duo Ancient Methods do the honourable thing and break out The whip, a track that comes across like a 2-step party in the foundry of Thor himself. Lets lazily label it anvil techno, because as far as we are aware no has yet invented a genre that adequately desribes music such as this. And as we have come to expect, much the same can be said of the evil sickness that is Eat like hawks by Bjorn Svin (with a little help from Karsten Pflum, Jona Olesen & Copyflex!). It starts like it means to go on, with a gnarled loop and indecipherable distorted vocals, and is gradually tweaked and augmented to the point of destruction. All manner of ill bass, overdriven filters, zaps, clanky drums & feedback join the party before the whole affair is brought to an abrupt end by the strange foreign lady that we have come to know and love over the course of the track. Truly music for small, sweaty, strobe-driven cellars.
