Posthuman 'ILA013' EP (I Love Acid)
Posthuman return to their club night/vinyl-only imprint I Love Acid with four new slabs of sculptured acid rave. ‘Bringin’ The News’ finds the cousins on fine form as they craft an impressive cut that features warped rave hooks, pulsating top-lines and cyborg-like vocals. Elsewhere on the release, ‘Ending It’ is a more subtle interpretation of acid and sees the production duo craft a club-ready groove out of vocal chops, melodies and thwacking snares. ‘New Jack’, on the other hand, is a proper throwback brimming with the usual 303 tropes. To finish, the pair deliver ‘You Belong (In Chicago)’, a track that acts as the EP’s palette cleanser. As with all releases on I Love Acid, this beauty is limited to just 303 vinyl copies, so you best move fast if you want to snap it up.
