  • Extremely effective, effusive techno just in time for New Year's Eve.

  • "Just a couple of tools," says the description on WTCHCRFT's Bandcamp page, about this new Sorry Records EP that was "made at a time when NYC was just getting back into the swing of things (RIP)." Putting aside the modesty, Ooga Booga—and "Temper Fuse" especially—captures the fizzy, pupil-dilating energy of a night out in Brooklyn. It's elemental, a sleek array of kicks, snares and vocal grunts that gradually builds into a stripped-back approximation of hardstyle with well-timed bursts of hoover synth. It's the kind of thing that could bring a party to a whole new level if dropped at just the right moment, a reminder of techno's vital, fundamental power.
