Cardopusher is a reborn man these days. You rarely hear the aggressive synths or glitched drums of his breakcore past. He’s moved solidly into tropical territories and this new 3ball cut for Enchufada is a perfect example of his newfound interests. The dense, loping bongos offer an easy, low gravity bounce while a buried 4/4 kick keeps the zombies in a dancing hypnosis. Hard synth stabs and distant bass pads shock the listener into attention while a series of scattered samples add to the atmosphere. All this combined with a subtle but constant progression makes for a hard ass party in pre-Hispanic observatories. (Art by The Atomic Ghost.)

After our man Cory Blaine got the remix from Sunsplash, they enlisted him for an official remix of their track ‘Interference’. The original is built on a rock riff, and the sonics of phone interference – never has a cellphone messing with your speakers sounded so good. As ever, Cory adds the jackin’ bassline to the mix.
