DJ VLR presents a compelling mixtape of the first year of releases from label Central Processing Unit. This limited edition cassette evidences a focused curation which prioritises a return to the tropes of end-of-the-century accelerationist dance music, with the electro staples of machine vocals, hammering bass patterns and blunted drums dominating proceedings. Though the sound palette is tried and tested, there is a precision to the employment of detuned synths and weighty bass squelches here that recommends it beyond mere nostalgia.
