Delta Heavy 'Kill Room' (Ram)
The impressive Ram duo Delta Heavy have elevated themselves to become one of the most hyped draws of the all-conquering label (no mean feat, given the competition), and now cap a massive year with both a Radio 1 Essential mix and this unadulterated smasher. Ghostly synths and wind-up drums spear through the track from the off, but it’s those perfectly sequenced horror-style wails that steal the show, ushering in a mean, dancefloor-tech groove that hammers along without ever feeling overcooked. 7/10
