SKMA 'Conflict' (Sub Slayers)
Playful, precise and punishing robo-tech from Jersey trio SKMA, with a bounce-along roller that’s got all the hallmarks of a twisted tech stomper but with oodles of pogo-tastic energy too, turning it into something far more fun. The rasping metallic synth that spears through the middle lends a wiry, spidery feel, offset by snares that carry more than a whiff of triplicate-beat silliness. It’s altogether different and excellent.
7/10
