MR010 spins what we’ve perceived as noRecall’s continued electronic ode to grime and hip hop. Islay begins with a truly blended lead-out piece called Grid Failure. The track evolves around punchy grime drums and sonic swing, creating an environment where function meets form and form meets function. The project moves forward with Inhalation’s commanding choral intro, a rather fitting lead that both juxtaposes and highlights sub-smashing frequencies. Inhalation’s stepping patterns take us through multiple switch-ups and variations, a common denominator for this ever-morphing EP.

Moving to the third track, listeners are met with hybrid dancehall that is somehow (and rather spectacularly) entangled with nostalgic 8-bit crush. Islay’s (this time the track, not the EP) introduction serves as a crowd breather before the ensuing onslaught of patterning and low-end weight. It’s clear how much time went into its composition… a labor of love that offers many class ear catching elements.

And now, to guess which direction the remix would take would’ve been futile! All we knew was that whatever came next was at the mercy of Maude Vôs… and wowie, what a delivery. Maude Vos’ remix depicts something expertly large and immersive, something that requires much more than the dBs produced by my little Renault Clio. This track feels like an audio depiction of the rain cycle, with sonics heated into the atmosphere only to fall back over your head. A fitting curtain call for this project.
