Ugandan Methods

I guess it was only a matter of time before Regis (who is now largely resident in Berlin) hooked up with the Ancient Methods boys, pushing as they are a similar vein of tough, broken techno. Recent output on Sandwell District & Downwards has evidenced a cleaner, more considered side to his traditionally gritty sound, while Ancient Methods are definitely walking the wilder side sound-wise. These two paradoxical and contrasting production styles make for a very tasty mix however, and it remains to be seen who was wearing the trousers, musically speaking, in these two corkers...but who cares really when the results are this impressive?
