Blackest Ever Black returns with a second poised, powerful offering from Raime, accompanied by a remix from Regis (Downwards/Sandwell District). 'If Anywhere was here he would know where we are' is a tense, almost guarded work, with a rolling, starkly foregrounded rhythm that might make one think of jungle, if jungle were a product of the 80s cold wave. The drum hits and synth tones seem almost punitive, designed to admonish rather than seduce - and yet seduce they do. Raime use richly detailed, dread-infused sound design - and, once again, an array of deeply embedded industrial and goth samples - to survey feelings of loss, listlessness and anxiety as only they know how. On the flip, Regis reinvents 'This Foundry', a track taken from Raime's recent debut EP. It's a tough but remarkably sensitive version, true to the original's overriding atmosphere of decay and disquiet, but also tapping into its romantic undercurrents. Things begin in tense, predatory techno mode: industrial shrapnel wheeling around a commanding, gutter-savvy bassline and reinforced steppers' rhythm. This cyclical dancefloor attack builds in intensity, eventually giving way to a redemptive, widescreen climax, all the suppressed longing of Raime's original loosed in a momentary glimpse of the sublime. DJ support from Surgeon, Peverelist, Ancient Methods, MLZ, Forward Strategy Group, Demdike Stare.
