Perc 'Bitter Music' (Perc Trax)

The likes of Blawan might be more hyped, but if you really want to understand the recent rise of dark and industrial techno, dig into the work of Ali Wells, aka Perc. He and his Perc Trax label have been responsible for a torrent of joyously fearsome banging and clattering over the years, and that continues on ‘Bitter Music’. His production is evolving ambitiously: there are arthouse horror movie clangs of piano, terrifying ambience and mind-frying subliminal detail alongside the pummelling machine beats. Though the mood is unremittingly bleak and not a little scary, it’s never predictable, and never stops finding new ways to tickle and twist your braincells. It’s a heck of a ride to the darkside. Joe Muggs
