With Ascendancy, the duo enter grimier territory, with an Eastern vocal sample resonating eerily amid gnarly FX and droning pads punctuated by bass stabs and percussive pre-tremors of the oncoming onslaught. Then in a welter of drums and and filter sweeps, we’re locked in to an energetic and low-slung beat, backed by an undulating, future-funk bassline, with a sizzling, tearing synth in take-no-prisoners mode. It’s a thrilling ride, an assault weapon of a tune to shake up the 2am crowd on the dancefloor.
