XLR8R

The regionally minded Torontonians at the Secret Weapon label have made it their mission to flog thoroughly thumping sounds worldwide-and who's to stand in their way? Their third release finds a mysterious top cop mixing mechanical whirrs with a martial bassline on "Jack In Space," which gets stripped down and set to heavy shuffle mode by Berlin boy Jake Fairley. The elastic, synth-centered "Ignition" offers twangy contrast, making for a potent slab of vinyl overall.
