#TeddyKillerz return to #NeuropunkRecords for the label’s ninth EP, aptly named “#PanicAttack”. Cofounders of the #Neuropunk label alongside #Gydra, the #TeddyKillerz need little introduction other than the sound of their distinctly horror tinged productions, which has found its home on many of Drum & Bass’ largest labels including #RAM, #Eatbrain, #Blackout, and more. Perhaps more than any other however, #NeuropunkRecords provides a natural habitat for this terrifying ursine trio, a theory supported by #PanicAttack’s four ferocious tracks.
Beginning with the anxious chords of its title track, #PanicAttack bellows a discordant bassline roar set to signal the start of its sonic hunt supported by precise percussion and spiraling synth patterns.The initial jest of #CantStopMe follows with a percussive pattern that merges funk focused levity with the power of the former’s roar, resulting in a track that moves with unexpected ease despite the weight of its mighty low end. #Augmentation’s electric saw synths are unmistakably imbued with the #TeddyKillerz prowess for the titular augmentation of their sonics, and lead into the EP’s most technically minded sonic torrent featuring a multitude of warped sounds. Closing the EP is the cinematically toned #Shine, which features a set of bright pads and mysterious vocals overlaid in harmonious interplay prior to their destruction at the hands of a uniquely distorted lead that flows atop a smoothly drifting bassline.
Displaying the full breadth of their sound for #NeuropunkRecords, #TeddyKillerz’ #PanicAttack performs to the pinnacle of the trio’s talents, from the hyperenergetic neurofunk of #PanicAttack to the tech focused #Augmentation and the more emotive #Shine. Across all four tracks the #TeddyKillerz devotion to malign sonics holds true, promoting them further as the undisputed masters of their sinister sound.
