Xanadu 'Save Yourself' (Dom & Roland Productions)
Dom & Roland’s protégé delivers a proper wrecking-ball here. The thunderous ticking centipede of a break that forms the iron spine to this surgical, bullet-tough minimal workout is suddenly assaulted by a truly fearsome synth wave – a monstrous surge rising from the deep that chills the blood. In a club, it’s like a giant sonic stingray ghosting up from beneath the dancefloor, instantaneously swamping everything in a purplish cloak of doom. Careful in there.
8/10
