FJAAK 'Wolves' (Monkeytown)
These guys are so ridiculously consistent when it comes to slinging raw yet original funked-up techno. Their arrangements and ideas just seem to be so different in comparison to so many of their peers, which is great to see. ‘Wolves’ is a perfect title for this track: there’s a kind of howling sound creeping up from the background as the main riff punctuates a mega breakdown that drops into a driller-killer second half. When those hats come in, together with the woofing synth, it’s game over.
8/10
