For the 6th release on the Pretty Weird imprint, Chloe Robinson enlists the architectural minds of DJ ADHD and Nikki Nair to return once more to the label with a two-track EP of peak-time proportions.
Nikki’s solo jaunt on ‘Startrack’ is a crossbreed love affair between acid and breakbeat, with crisp kicks and psychedelic loops that seem to be caught in an endless, hypnotic crescendo.
On ‘Rips’, the Knoxville producer is joined by DJ ADHD, who recently made his debut after a diversification from his ALXZNDR alias. It’s all stripped back drum-patterns for this one, with lurching bass inflections and clipped vocal hollers that demonstrate the power of minimalism employed attentively.
The final result: two razor-sharp tools designed for primal bodies and responsive lighting, gaining early support from Four Tet, Randomer, Bradley Zero, Pangaea, Mary Anne Hobbs and Saoirse to name a few.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
