Title: Boom N Pow
Label: BLACK ACRE (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $11.00
Catalog #: ACRE 014EP
On red-colored vinyl. "Edinburgh's prodigal son returns to the boards for another alchemic fusion of glitchy boom bap and tear out noise terror. 'Boom N Pow,' explodes out of the starting blocks with Akira's super fresh sound aesthetic. Solid battle hardened hip hop drums sway and tumble under the pressure of aquatic bass and citric stabs. Just as the b-boys heads are bopping, the beats shrink, normal gravity is restored and the barely audible rants of Akira's imaginary Japanese self begins the wind up to the point where Akira Kiteshi justifies his new title as master of the 2nd drop. 'Boom N Pow (Raffertie Remix)' -- in an attempt to win most cutting edge banger of 09 we have employed the services of Planet Mu's hot boy Raffertie on the re-up. Here the Brum hardcore enthusiast bring bitch slap snares, degraded synths and his own unique brand drunken noise chaos. Keeping up the neck snapping pace Raff flips the script on the 2nd drop into the kind of chaos best described as Aphex Twin on a Ragga Tip. It's big and it IS clever.... Support: Mix Master Mike, Bobby Friction, Rob Da Bank, N Type, Reso, Raffertie, Joker, Starkey, MF GLK."

Title: Lorraine Kelly/Jeremy Kyle
Label: BLACK ACRE (UK)
Format: 7"
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: TEAMACRE 001EP
"After storming the electronic music scene with the confirmed anthem 'Pinball,' Akira Kiteshi return to the table with the lowkey and ultra limited Jeremy Kyle EP. On the A we have 'Lorraine Kelly' which kicks off as a spooked glitch hop number quickly descending into slamming snares and pulse cannon bass lines. Things take a turn for the left on the flip with 'Jeremy Kyle' a vertigo inducing dose of sloppy drums, giddy lazer bass with a double helping of AK's drunken Nintendo funk."


Artist: AKIRA KITESHI
Title: Ming The Merciless/ION-BRU
Label: SPECIAL BRANCH (UK)
Format: 12"
Price: $9.00
Catalog #: ACRESB 003EP
"'Ming The Merciless': Possibly the Scottish highlander's most brutal transmission to date, 'Ming' opens with Manga dialogue mixed and mashed with durable bass-tones and grinding mid range. However, do not be fixated just on the light speed neon-clad dynamics, because hidden within this 5 minute drum break of chaos lies some serious cut'n'paste edit skills. Often confused with tear-out dubstep, AK is keen to define his sound as 'Skag Den Breakcore' or 'Very Unhappy Hardcore'. Drop this and introduce some Darwinism to the dance. 'ION-BRU': Again AK's itchy feet go on a genre wander, splicing elements of electro, garage, dubstep and house. What begins as a solid (if glitchified) half-stepper."
