Christian Piers
'Onn' (17 Steps)
8/10
Dusky's label drops a bit of a bomb here, with Christian Piers handling business like a natural born killer. As befitting Dusky's tough, techno-leaning sound ethic, Piers drops three dancefloor-destroying cuts, all with their own unique flavour.
'Offf' is a slightly chaotic, offbeat workout, 'Beats Wiser' has a bit of an acid-style bassline and our pick, 'Onnn', has a hypnotising, stuttering tribal flow supported by a clap-heavy collection of beats and little else.
It's this simplistic, repetitive nature that makes it so enthralling, though: subtle changes in key increase the tension with a couple of energy-boosting drops to keep you engaged throughout. Dirt.
