blug 013 “Modular immersion” is a heavy, high intensity three tracker EP. All from M.R.E.U.X on the a side. The opening a1 “dark mind” does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s dark, it messes your mind up and it’s done using modular machinery. a2 “Liquid Gear” is different in construction, muffled kick and grinding bass lines are rubbing shoulders with sparse and effective hi hats. This time Essex finest Ben Sims steps in with his magic sound palette. He takes the b side with a crisp techno cut. Filtered bass in sequence and smart stop-starts create a series of crescendos and boomy moments. Big room techno through and through[info sheet from distr.]
