Second Storey 'Grand Rapid' (Houndstooth)
Here’s a slice of wriggling, wobbly and IDM-inspired high tempo bounciness from Second Storey. Houndstooth keep the levels up with every single release thanks to the A&R skills of Rob Booth, and this is the label’s latest delicious release. With cutesy robot beeps, off-key cosmic chimes and an ingenious drum arrangement, there’s something quite magical about this track. This one’s sketched-out in places, and utterly whimsical.
