• Blend of genres, nice Techno buildup • SCNDL‘s bounce is missing • Violent outcome It is quite surprising to see SCNDL and Vion Konger pair up, given that they always worked on different genres in different labels, but it is nice to have them united in “Mutate”, released a few weeks ago on Dharma.
