Following on from his 'Devil's Dance' album at the start of the year, The Marzahn Versions takes his inimitable sound palette and takes on the floor with a pair of, er pairs - that is, two originals and then their contrasting dub mixes.

Up top, the unrelenting thump of the 'Crowd Psychology' sets the tone for the EP right from the start - paired with an infectious lead melody which gives way to the paranoia inducing middle section - weaving myriad sonic textures through his maze of delays, vintage FX and slightly used & abused mixing desk as only he can.

The contrasting cut - 'Mob Psychology', cuts the original right back to the bone in brutalist style - the soundtrack to the post apocalyptic cityscape. Traces of the once familiar melody echo through the chamber, bruised by the omnipresent kick drum and scarred by scattershot snare hits - Incredibly heavy and unsettling in the best way.

Hack Dance is a cast iron slab of industrial steppa's pressure - utterly uncompromising, the sound of the resistance - the soundtrack to Shakka playing in a fallout shelter in 2050. The dub version hollows out the original to deadly effect - sonar pings ricocheting off the outreaches of the echo chamber while the lead lines stretch out into infinity.

Heavyweight 12" mastered & cut at Dubplates & Mastering.
