There must be something in the water out in Finland, as the country that's produced such prodigious and forward-thinking talent as Teeth & Tes La Rok is also home to the latest member to join the Black Box family, LAS. 'Power Surge' channels both the earthier, more vital tones of Mala and the techier aesthetics of Icicle's productions, or Youngsta's DJ sets for Rinse FM. Built round a lean beat of razor-sharp hats & snares, LAS constructs a heavy roller from live-wire basslines and ice-cold atmospherics. On the flip, fellow Finlander and futuristic B-boy Desto turns the track completely inside out, inverting the beats & bass to create a vacuum-formed Y3K electro warper. Heavy support from Rinse FM DJs including N-Type & Youngsta, and repeat plays on XFM from Mary Anne Hobbs.
