  • Rona City doesn't sound like anywhere I'd want to go... if we weren't already there right now. The track sounds appropriately out of sorts: a solitary stuttering synth and a floating cloud of footwork sub-bass, appear hesitantly, trembling into a void. Eventually it clicks into a rhythm, one of those twitchy, hybrid footwork grooves calling back to the days of "Xingfu Lu." The beat science here is intoxicating, though uneasy. Its reverie ends with that same sputtering chord, losing momentum until it disappears, like a club track that realized there's (almost) nowhere for it to call home.
