Body Horror II

On side A, MM (formerly Miss Modular), co-founder of the London-based Her Records, opens with Charly Tek, spilling a liquid metal mixture of percussive bursts, bashment chants, and a rogue whistle to form a relentless stop-n-go riddim that is nothing short of bone crushing. Ohmu furthers the midtempo exaltation with lines of manic brass and concussive bass. Side B sees N.A.A.F.I.'s Chilean club ambassador Imaabs controlling the atmosphere with trance-inducing minimalism. The ghostly bells of Disyuncion slip into a throbbing dembow-meets-stutter-step sequence before the sitar and frisky bassline of Clinamen braid melody over a heavy set of skin percussion and snare-clap combinations.
