Friction and Nu Balance
Burn Down

Blade

Friction rubs up against the bassbins for Charge sublabel Blade, generating some heat with "Burn Down," which takes Digitalesque retro boom/clack-style beats and pairs them up with dramatic machine growls, a beeping melody and pounding bass. Flip for "Turmoil," a predictable techy roller that evokes vintage Stakka & Skynet.
