Stalwart Birmingham, UK innovators Justin K Broadrick and Mick Harris have connected again as JK Flesh and Monrella to deliver the warehouse-destroying hard techno LP Shouting the Odds, five years after their last EP, See Red. Featuring four tracks from each artist, Shouting the Odds invokes both the feeling of listening to late night pirate radio and sweating in a darkened warehouse as the rafters shake, complete with the perfect amount of analog wow and flutter. Brimming with gnarled, unrelenting kicks hovering between 130–140bpm, the split format deftly showcases both artist's individual strengths, while displaying undeniable commonality. Broadrick's side leans traditional hard techno, filled with mesmerizing, minimal synth arpeggios and contrasting toplines, all aligned and maligned by shrewd transitions. Harris' section presents more experimental and house influences, using bright, distorted synth hits and a touch of forlorn melody. The tracks take on a life of their own through expert use of filters and just the right amount of delay, stutter, and glitch. Never before has an album filled with such shining, shimmering synths been so black and threatening. JK Flesh and Monrella have hard techno down to a science. “No-nonsense old school flavoured techno bangers. We're flying the flag for outsider techno." — Justin K Broadrick
