ahl iver: haunted patterns

If you've come across Amelie Lens's Fabric Presents mix, then the name of Ahl Iver shall definitely ring a bell. New sensation Ahl Iver is undeniably on the cusp of big things, and his debut EP, Haunted Patterns, sets the tone in gutsy fashion. The opening track "7AM" features a punchy gabber kick and rush, hard-hitting drums and a healthy dose of slimy acid squelch to leave you dazed and confused for a while. Adding his ever-efficient spin to the original, Lenske mainstay Milo Spykers reworks the groove onto straightforward clubby railway as he sure knows well how to subdue the dancers through the most wildly enjoyable ankle-twisting/brain-melting maneuvers. As its name suggests, the title-track "Haunted Patterns" is a spooky dancefloor affair. Allowing a 4/4 hell to break loose on the basement while enveloping it in further hypnotic synths and intense cosmic vibrations. Lovers of classic Altern-8 style hardcore shall find the perfect outlet to their headbanging fantasies in the euphoria-inducing "Rave Simulator". With four cuts tailored to take clubs and dance floors by storm, Ahl Iver steps up for his debut record on Lenske.
