Koryu begins slow and seductive, open hihats and drum fills rising through a mist of serene atmospherics; but before long a sinuous, organic bassline and a refrain of tweaking, descending triplets announces the arrival of the main groove: and a loose, rollicking beat powered by a big splashy snare, surging forward like a drum&bass locomotive with a knotty, rasping synth following in its wake, snapping at its wheels like a mad dog that won’t be shaken off. Powerful and classy.
