Horror 'Hydro' EP (Macabre Unit Digital)
Macabre Unit releases new music at a rate of knots, and Tony Rocky Horror’s latest EP is a good entry point for the raw dubstep it champions. Opener ‘Hydro’ deals in warped sci-fi sounds, squelchy bass pressure and oddball drum patterns, while ‘Gambit’ treads a similar path. The sparsity continues on the snarling ‘Terraform’, before standout ‘Soothsayer’, again defined by de-tuned square waves and mechanical pressure that can feel tinny in places, signs off.
