Press Release
Hysteresis is back with their second album for HANDS – the return of the purists’ nightmare!?
Surprise, surprise, “Manifest” emerges as the most consistent full-length the boys from Belgium have ever made, as all 12 tracks are cooked from the same basic ingredients (in varying percentage): Muscular midtempo beats, hyperactive breakbeat stabs, heavy bass riffs, cinematic melodies, political samples and lots of sounds lifted from the Rave/Hardcore gene pool.
Of course Hysteresis will not leave you with an all uniform output, so they have added different flavor toppings to each track. The ingredient list reads:
- Metal riffs (We do not forget)
- Degressive modulations (Sektarism)
- Agitated Ragga Jungle (What needs to be done)
- A primitivist distorted bassline (Echt)
- Dramatic changes of tempo (Glorious Food)
- Whispered female vocals / cheesy 80s synths (Nothing)
- A tabla tune (Springtime Phatty)
- Ethno samples (Sleazy Trailers)
- The Dubstep wobble and B-movie excerpts (Braindamage)
- Revolutionary rants as an explanation for the album title (Manifest)
- A full-blown anti-imperialistic piece of Dub (Regular Pattern)
- Industrial beats, it’s on HANDS after all (No Focus)
Please be aware that any track may contain traces of any of the above!
Manifest proves to be a strong album and enjoyable listen, a fine example of modern bass music tapping into its various traditions. Imagine The Prodigy had further explored their experimental ideas on “Jilted Generation”, or the Big Beat genre had taken a turn into Avant-garde alley, the result could have been something like that.
But for now, Hysteresis has done a proper job about that!
