Rhino is the latest insight into the prolific mind of the young but all too talented Gerry Read. The producer has grown his own particular style across a choice number of labels such as Fourth Wave, 2nd Drop and most recently Delsin, and this latest release on the aforementioned RAMP offshoot is perhaps Read’s most nightmarish advance through the outskirts of house and techno. “Rhino” is as heavy weight as the animal from which the name originates, thumping into existence with indecipherable vocals twisted rhythmically around a hollow industrialised groove of malformed percussion and drums. In full flow, the track almost seems to creak under the pressure of everything that’s going on but somehow rumbles on. In contrast “All The Time” seems more focused to begin with, drums wound tightly before Read lets loose with his desire to craft all manner of demented layers of sound and vocals.
