ARD CORE KREW by AND

Mancunians AnD have lead the way when it comes to the industrial techno revolution of recent times and now serve up three such tracks on Ann Aimee. Coming after plenty of great work on their own eponymous imprint.The titular track 'Ard Core Krew' kicks things off with squealing machines, huge dump piston sounds, metallic synths and brutalist kick drums. It’s a hostile world of sound in which it is easy to get disorientated, and ‘Changed My View’ is much the same, with every single element sounding raw, frazzled and under plenty of strain. It’s a fuzzy, dirty track with lots of detailed activity as well as huge stomping kick drums, which pin it all together. 'Free At Last' is the most propulsive and forward moving; surging as it does on a grimy brew of splintered hi hats, incessant kick drums and low fizzing frequencies. Aggressive techno never sounded so fresh!
