Episode 105 concludes my 2017 retrospective trilogy. It starts hard with the uber-compressed kick of R Y K T then turns unexpectedly melodic before diving into Objekt’s rave pastiche and off onto a fantasia tour of modern club sounds, circa 2017, and landing somewhere between instrumental grime and Jersey club, just for a moment, making…
