Special Request vs Akkord - HTH vs HTH

  • Share
  • Houndstooth's recent seven-track showcase was just £1 for the entire set of MP3s, but you'll need to dig deeper to get your hands on this limited edition vinyl package featuring two of the project's heavyweights. Akkord rip open Special Request's "Lockjaw" and scatter its innards. Shattering bass drops and whispering snares, almost imperceptibly light, characterize its first half before it settles into a jungle shuffle where the space between notes is every bit as precious as the sounds themselves. In the hands of Paul Woolford in his Special Request guise, Akkord's "Destruction" becomes a giant superstructure. Not quite drum & bass, not quite techno, you can almost hear its bolts popping under pressure, panels audibly stretching in the intense heat generated by squalls of acid modulation, decaying beats and vicious metallic thuds.
