Current Value, Optiv & CZA 'Ghost Nation' (Cause 4 Concern)
When Sub Focus dropped C4C’s 2003 archetypal tech anthem ‘Carrier’ during his secret guest slot at XOYO in February, it received an arguably bigger reaction than some of Andy C’s bashiest weapons that night. The C4C trio are the real deal, but these days their eponymous label is the key focus, with head honchos Optiv and CZA scoring a mighty coup as darkside scholar Current Value joins up to hammer down a frankly disgusting tech-roller. Tidal waves of grizzled sub-bass froth up alongside a broiling mass of sniping synth slivers as the snares flicker and roll.
