zoned, acidic rave (‘peter hitchens’); downtempo breakbeat excursions (‘glued’); sleek and rude ‘balaklava’-esque steppers (‘spirals'); and passages of bleak, bombed-out industrial ambience. at times it feels like the missing link between british murder boys and source direct, or what might have happened if late 90s uk junglists had listened more closely to chain reaction. but really, it sounds like pessimist and pessimist alone. the ruthless minimalism, and the tension which comes of that restraint; the swing and propulsion of the drum programming; the abyssal reverbs and long trails of delay; the deep and body-numbing sub-bass; the uncompromising palette of blacks and blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003etracklisting 1:intro 2:bloom 3:grit 4:spirals 5:glued ft. loop faction 6:war cry 7:peter hitchens 8:no matter what ft. overlook 9:through the fog 10:outro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efile under: electronic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecd version \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=pessimist-cd-blackest-ever-black\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBLACKESTLP017\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"blackest ever black","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42159214821532,"sku":"BLACKESTLP017","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/a1125941637_10-1559_9f6b0c77-3459-4a63-b50b-3dd0e0762300.jpg?v=1668016345"},{"product_id":"pessimist-atyeo","title":"Pessimist - Atyeo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e limited hand-stamped 12\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ITX018\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease Date: 23 Feb 24 (back in)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e Jungle\/Drum And Bass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVigorous Tackling Jungle Trouble\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ilian Tape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43119555969180,"sku":"ITX018","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/Pessimist-Atyeo_7c11cc44-9e53-4686-97c0-60e93f51474e.png?v=1708693768"},{"product_id":"pessimist-dvla","title":"Pessimist - DVLA","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 12\" Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: ITX041\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 01 Dec 2025\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Techno\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1.

He is one of drum \u0026amp; bass's most distinctive voices and shows why once more here. 'Pess One' opens with clinical precision - pin-sharp drums where every element earns its place 'Pony Boy Club' drives harder, laser bleeps piercing cavernous reverb and kicks that never quit. 'NRG-97' reaches back into a nostalgic palette with dread-filled bass and dark percussion.
