1st in a series of gang shots from Bristol’s LavaLava, from badhead bashment to a hard drum UKF bullet and frenchtek-y screwball by Lurka, Zoë McPherson and NKC x Roska

All four cuts characterise the label’s soundclash of styles, with hardcore techno, industrial and bashment churned up in rusty dub echo chamber still ringing with traces of Bristol’s breakcore/yardcore sound.

Zoë McPherson turns up a big highlight in her build up from doom-dub to full velocity frenchtek ‘Alva’, and the body-scanning bashment skip of Lurka’s ‘Patterning’ is bound to sound unreal on a big rig, as is the punchy, sparring UKF futurism of ‘Teardown’ from hard drum don NKC and Roska in Bakongo mode.

Bad!
