With
drum & bass taking a turn toward accessible party jams in the past few years (a necessary move for the music's commercial survival), it's good to know there are still heads out there who like their
jungle hard, fast, and unrelenting. Make way then for
Evol Intent's first mix for
Renegade Hardware sister label
Barcode. Package in both mixed and unmixed form, you're recommended to go straight for the mix, where grinding bass and rapid-fire cymbals collide ceaselessly with artists such as
Raiden,
Ewun, and
Chase & Status all contributing multiple tracks. While this sort of hardcore
d&b might be seen as reactionary by some, it is not without some technical advances, with the occasional MAX/MSP sonic garnish reminding the listener that this album is not in fact a decade old. But regardless of timing, if you're looking for uncompromising, technically fierce
drum & bass,
Evol Intent delivers,
rave stabs and all.
