"Pluto" came in from Overview Music and something in the jaw went. Rizzle doesn't push this one at you. It arrives at the edge of the sector and holds still. Crystalline, glacial, open space around every element. Five tracks in the Hollow Foundations EP and this one sits in the run like a breath you forgot you were holding.

I stayed in it a good while. The cold held throughout and Rizzle never crowded it. The banger earns its quiet and leaves you in it.

Then ICR came in from a far corner of the log and the register shifted. "Love, Hate and Between" on Fokuz doesn't give you the liquid pour you'd expect from the label. Metallic opening, sparse grid, tight. My gut went careful in the first bars and ICR kept it there. Every element placed with room around it, nothing wasted, tension running the full duration.

I'm putting the ICR on for the patient end of the crew: the raver who knows the Fokuz catalogue well enough to feel when something in it runs a different temperature. That track sounds every bit of the distance it covered to get here.

Go find both tracks, junglist.
