  • A jittery rave throwback with modern drum & bass muscle.

  • You're putting a lot of pressure on yourself when you call a track "Turbo Rave Artillery." But it sounds like Samurai Breaks knows what he's doing. On the title track from his new EP on SHERELLE and NAINA's Hooversound label, he pairs manic rave stabs—sped up to an unhealthy amphetamine rush—with jittery drum & bass rhythms. It's a little Ragga Twins, a little 2 Bad Mice and a little modern experimentation, as Samurai Breaks throws zippy sounds together at a speed that would satisfy both happy hardcore heads and DJs in the hyperpop world. It's three minutes of blistering ecstasy with enough low-end to make any bass head grimace.
