“Beau Wanzer’s 1st foray (outside of that Borez hookup with Rezzet for TTT) of ’25 reliably sticks to tried and tested methods of gritty club hypnosis on six parts in half an hour of sludgy bangers that leave bits between the teeth. Call it dancefloor plaque, rhythmic noise, or industrial club musick; from whatever angle it is proper cruddy gear for those that know.

The spirits of Chicago’s Wax Trax! label and the alt.jack scene that fed into Jamal Moss via Ron Hardy inform proceedings from the offbeat pound and slurred vox in ‘Deader Than a Doornail’ to the crankiest slug of gnashing, Latinate drum programming knit with demonic vox and septic synths in ‘Crunch Bunch’.

Signature levels of ferric infidelity lend gnawing spurs to the trampling heels of ‘Rhythm track 46b’, whilst he registers an outright classic in his catalogue on the warped mid-tempo strut to ‘Trial of the Decade’, and pushes into briared sludge of jakbeat meets alien black metal on ‘Better Judgement.’” -Boomkat
