Rocketnumbernine - Lone Raver - 12" Vinyl

Three-tracker of dizzying jump-up dance music wrought out of live percussion. 'Lone Raver''s hectic breakbeat attack is vaguely reminiscent of early Four Tet or even Squarepusher; we're far more impessed by the moodier 'Black and Blue', which goes easier on the drums and allows the beautifully reverbed melodies room to swirl and breathe. 'Steel Drummer' takes the middle way, arriving a sort of techno-inflected math-rock sound with hints of Battles, Zun Zun Egui and the like.
