JoeFarr inaugurates Leisure System's Gridlock 12" series, following a diverse history that includes three well-received releases on Turbo and records with DSNT and Power Vacuum; he has also remixed Tiga and been remixed by Truss. The clinical, kinetic "Oleum" hurdles toward a shatteringly powerful peak, while "Mormon Shuffle" boasts twisted functionality without sacrificing roughness in the brittle loops. The monolithic "Standard Issue" has an aggressive edge enhanced by whiplash percussion, and the broken piano melody of "FS3+4" inverts the joy typically found in that rave standby, dropping the instrument from to let the chords scatter and shatter as they please.
