Phil Berg drops ‘Raid’, via Setaoc Mass’ SK Elevent imprint, with four teeth-gritty techno numbers of the utmost immediacy and expediency. Like the immaculate inner workings of a giant snake-mech, hell-bent on seeking out and nullifying all lifeforms in its path, comes the mathematic undulations of ‘Y-Axis’ and the toothily electric acid zaps of ‘Raid’, while B-sider ‘Kamino’ gears us up for a final standoff with the beast. Finally, ‘Sinara’ hears the mech vanquished, leaving room for some meditatively serene padwork, though the drums stay ever-present, keeping us hot on our toes for potential future encounters of the same sort.
