  Preston-based "knob tweaker" Rob Woodward is back under his Demetae alias with a second outing of ‘all frills intended’ techno. This time, he’s armed with a cornucopia of salacious goods to keep all lovers of essential dance floor tackle thoroughly engaged.
  
  Kicking things off, the EP chucks you straight in at the deep end with “DREAMSLAVE01”. Smartly enlisting samples from one of Woodward’s favourite digital masterpieces “Slave Zero” released in 1999, the track fluctuates on a sea of modular chaos as things move from one moment to the next with unpredictable delight.
  
  Next, the enigmatically titled ‘EGNIT’ picks up the baton. This time things take a more organic turn, with sounds mimicking the silky and precise, microscopic movements of a centipede placed either side of the stomping, elephant-like percussion.
  
  The modular f**kery continues with the unambiguous HANGRY, a thunderous, expansive exploration of extreme rage through lack of sustenance. It’s a frothing, half-starved monster that could bring on heart palpitations and broken bones if not approached with caution.
  
  Demeate hops onto the hardcore continuum with the 90s jungle inspired FEAR, an amen break wielding slab of dark room dynamism. The perennial drum break is supplanted with the equally iconic sounds of a Roland 303, as snippets of vintage horror movies chop in and out of the jaunty rhythms and brutal low end.
  
  The curtain closes with the long awaited release of RESIGN, another fine example of Woodward’s gift for intriguing, mangled sampling, evil beats and minimal acid licks. The bizarre, rapidly looped vocals morph into moments of ethereal levity, lifting the dank, basement dwelling, beat into more tripped-out, transcendent territory. It’s a fittingly impressive closer to an EP that never sits still, undoubtedly the most adventurous and rewarding EP of the Demetae project to date. ... more
