Cult future dub label Peak Oil host Bristol/Berlin’s Low End Activist calling the hardcore rave ghosts with a suite of wraithlike mentasms and desiccated breaks recorded in homage to the countryside keynotes of classic ’90 raves near where he grew up - RIYL Zomby, Dale Cornish, Vialan, Demdike Stare, DINTE, Burial
One up to 2022’s ‘Hostile Utopia’ LP, Low End Activist’s 2nd album ‘Airdrop’ inverts the aesthetics and production of his debut in a process of memory-parsing hauntology that hails the original energies of bucolic, golden age early ‘90s rave from a perspective severed from time and space. Saluting the writhing spectres of ravers dancing to the likes of Tango & Ratty, Top Buzz, DJ SS or Dr. S Gachet at the likes of Waterstock and White Horse Hill in his formative stomping grounds of South West England, LEA presents a nostalgia-jogging carousel of disembodied hardcore tropes in heavily dubwise arrangements that leave behind only traces of their sinew and ballistic chronics ricocheting meadows and valleys of the rural landscape.
It’s a sound we’ve heard approached from varying angles over the past decades, from Burial’s cadaver dances to Dale Cornish’s poetically stripped down and reconstituted vernacular or the most sparing Demdike Stare lashes, but Low End Activist really makes the sound his own with the finest balance of concept and effect. Imagine yrself in the Downs under a full moon, thronged by spectres of stone age and new age, thizzing yr tits off to severed hoovers and flint-cut breaks, and you’ve a good grasp of this album’s meticulously plotted course from OOBE hardcore in ‘Waterstock’, thru the flashback vamps of ‘Mayhem on Barton Hill’, to the recursive breaks of ‘Squeeze Yer Lemon’, the body gurn warp factor of ‘White Horse Hill’ and duppy thrash of ‘Tango Skit’, and final gouch out in the backseat of ‘Cortina Outro’. Need a zoot after this.
