It’s hard not to admire Ben Sims’ ability to reinvent himself. On “Something”, he delivers a typical slamming tribal groove, but it features noisy, crashing percussion and a vocal intoning ‘there’s something inside’, which is culled from the kind of hardcore record that he used to play back in the day. Sims’ own remix features splintered rhythms and insistent claps over hammering beats, while his choice of remixers is also of a high quality; Truncate’s take features merely a snippet of the vocal over hammering beats that lead into a deep chord sequence, while the Rivet version is more stripped back and laced with bugged out acid lines.
