Our Japanese master of the dark arts returns, with his next single following the excellent C2M earlier this year. A.Mochi is a maverick in the techno world, pushing harder and darker with his super-defined trademark rolling bass. The A Side shows Mochi at his most focused, with Black Reigns. A driving, devilishly monotonous techno pump is interspersed with snappy snare fills as a wave of sound fills the spectrum. High-intensity builds follow as the thunderous moment in peak time techno takes its course. Mochi takes us into more cerebral zones with Stray - snaking percussion leading our minds to a deeper place as his casually deadly bassline works the sub-aural zones. Finally Phantom looks back at A.Mochis more twisted past,as a heavily syncopated monster appears amidst the smoke of the dancefloor. Static hiss, crisp metallic rides and lusty energy drive this percussive killer.
