In the lengthy history of UK techno, few producers have a stronger (or for that matter, longer) track record than old friends James Ruskin and Mark Broom. These days, their collaborative releases are relatively rare, but they're always worth picking up. As you'd expect, this second volume in their Basement Jams series is suitably frenetic and forthright, delivering a quintet of heavyweight tracks aimed squarely at peak-time techno dancefloors. They start as they mean to go on with thunderous, acid-fired stomper 'Latch', before cycling through thumping lo-fi jack tracks ('Twister'), intense bouncy techno (the breathless beats, fizzing electronics and raw riffs of 'Zone'), fuzzy late-night insanity (the deliciously warped 'Drive') and stripped-back drum tracks ('Arc', with its wayward acid riffs and slowly intensifying percussion).
