Belarus-based producer Viikatory follows up on sterling drops for Juicy Gang, Mutual Pleasure and International Chrome to deliver this sure-footed plate to Austrian electro staple Trust. 'Step 01' opens the record up in urgent, punchy style with a battle-hardened beat and the gnarliest of synth lines, while 'UFO' amps up the electroid synth tweaking to devastating effect. 'Love, Death & Robots' has a crisp, uptempo approach which edges towards ghettotech and 'Heatwave' lays on the chunky analogue synth lines to make this a varied exploration of all the forms electro can take in the modern era.
