Thatboytim
Down In The Hole (Takeover Recordings)
Excellent dark, dubby techno from Belfast producer Thatboytim, followed by a superb jacking, hardcore riff-sampling version from Sunil Sharpe and The Parallel's typically spaced out techno treatment.4/5 ****

Live set from Ed Devane, from the launch night for his "molten membrane" lp on mantrap records.
