laksa: 66 rebels

Laksa marks his second appearance on Beneath's Mistry label with two parts of properly assertive, bass bin-troubling mongrel business, circa 120bpm. Laksa nails the label aesthetic with insistent torque and no concession to niceties. "66 Rebels" staggers across the A-side, drunken master style, whipping the subs into a mucky frenzy under de-glazed, worn-down drums and stinging bleeps that bite in all the right places. From the rim, "Ctrl Delete" is a headlong trip into cavernous dread dance music swarmed by chromatic ghost voices and shocked into action by a massive, reverberating synth lead.
