Broken Note 'Rust In Peace' (Methlab)
The expertly manicured MethLab project gathers pace with a corking new ‘Monoleth’ series: six tracks of half-stepping robo-tech from the likes of Audeka, Rawtekk and Hybris, sculpted with myriad strains of impressive neuro sound design. MethLab co-founder Broken Note turns our head most with his gargantuan walls of distorted synths, which bludgeon along with half-time fury before morphing into a full-throttle 170bpm stomp.
