Shed’s puckish Hoover alias spins two mutant ‘ardcore steppers following the John Bercow-sampling madness of volume 2. The first sees him bubbling on the halfstep like Smith & Mighty warming up at The Eclipse, which never happened, but trust Hoover to make it unchroncially real with his scoop-worrying subs and tense rave chops. The other cut is a pure acid hardcore belter strapping fly-buzz acid lines to bashy breaks, flaying hi-hats and eye-fluttering pads like some stray Tango & Ratty trip to Detroit.
