It's the third release on Black Acre's Special Branch sub-label, following rave-aimed drops from Sarantis and Raffertie with outright hardcore 'step styles. Paying tribute to one of the campest villains of all time, 'Ming The Merciless' ruptures the rave with boulder rolling halfstep beats swamped in viscous subbass leading into a severe second drop while the flipside 'Ion Bru' hurls out a barrage of mid-range abuse with Kiteshi's advanced touch elevating this far above the mire of halfstep rave plod. Fans of Caspa, Raffertie or Borgore will be hot for this!
