"It’s a simple formula: take Jamaican dancehall drums, add techno noises. But here, Bazrah has come up with three refreshingly original twists on that equation. “Eleven” is the most directly techno, its sub bass and subliminal detail crying out to be played in Berghain-style techno dungeons. “One Seven” drags you into a pool of sticky liquid for a hallucinogenic swim. And with “18,” they’ve saved the best for last: the closest to classic early ‘90s dancehall, it’s all about repetition, letting small percussion sounds build from a deceptively simple start into thick chattering patterns, while elegant chords float in and out."
