Ninja Columbo 11 – Anorak, Algorithmic & The Teknoist – OUT NOW
The latest beast from our beloved Ninja Columbo is finally upon us and what a beast it is. This digital only release is a wall to wall banger, covering all the acid, kicks and jungle mentalism you could ask for. It’s also the debut Ninja Columbo release for our man Anorak and our comrade in jungle, Algorithmic.
With the opening track, Callate La Boca, we hear the first collaboration between label boss man The Teknoist and Algorithmic, a damn fine jungle/hardcore crossover that’s as crunchy as it is relentless.
Anorak’s Not Knowing is a beautiful example of this mans craft. Emotive synth work peppered with lush acid, all on a bed of pristine, glitched out amen edits. At just shy of 8 minutes, it’s practically a prog epic.
Track three sees The Teknoist giving his treatment to Anorak’s Not Knowing. He’s definitely found room to give a it a hardcore edge whilst keeping he lush acid in place. This time its all interspersed with The Teknoist’s signature break edits and driving kick drums.
The closing track is Algorithmic’s Noose Necked Royalty. A fiery jungle beast that is sure to destroy plenty of dance-floors this year. It could be argued that this track would have been more suited to Ninja Columbo’s sister label Our Fucking Jungle, but with restrictions on release schedules (and other boring admin) it was decided to include it on this Ninja Columbo release, which already features Algorithmic’s debut Ninja performance. That said, it is perfectly at home on this release and on this label. This is no wet behind ears weak amen rinse out. This is top drawer, heavy as fuck jungle. A sound which has been as important an inspiration to the creation of Ninja Columbo as hardcore or electronica ever was. Our Fucking Columbo.
