Review: LMajor and Corporeal Face aka Local Group follow separate and collective releases on Furthur Electronix and Human Concrete Block with this EP for Lobster Theremin offshoot 10 Pills Mate. Steeped in the sounds of 90s hardcore, Big Beats... brings the listener through an array of sounds and moods. There's the raw break beat and chipmunk vocals of "Watch This Beat", while the release veers into a melange of hip-house vocals and sample-heavy elector on "Work That Thang". Most impressive however is "Rhythmic Trip", where the pair combine mysterious synths with evocative vocals over rolling breaks. Lastly Angel D'lite's remix of "Trip" pushes it towards the intersection of pop and happy hardcore.

Slow-mo acid and hardcore techno collide on this wholly unique and distinct debut by FAFF. Arriving through the Kouncil Cuts label which appeared on radars in 2019, the label pushes a homegrown electro, techno, acid and breakbeat sound. Interestingly, FAFF goes for slower house tempos in the jungle infused ambient number "The Last Piglette" while throwing down a sped-up Prince Of Denmark tune in "Dilate". "Fungus" represents a deep and dubby 909 kick (w/hats) alongside some added dubstep basslines, with label resident Mark Mackenzie giving the latter a crisp drum and bass, breakbeat ambient shakedown. This little piggy went to market.

Hybrid UK Band released their sixth studio album, "Black Halo," as you'd expect, it's dark, emotional and technically sleek. The album, largely written during the turbulence of 2020, celebrates the resilience and triumph of the human spirit. The sound of the first two tracks unambiguously refers us to their legendary debut album "Wide Angle", which was released in 99th. Enjoy / listen.
