Favourite Releases of 2012: Dead Sound & Videohead - Murder EP (Perc Trax)

I wish I could say more about Dead Sound & Videohead's second collaborative EP Murder, but I'm not the most well-versed in techno music. Too bad, because Murder has been one of the biggest blind surprises of the year for me; I'd never heard of either Dead Sound or Videohead prior to hearing Murder, but when I want some grimy beats, it's my go-to record. For thirty dirty minutes, locomotive beats chug alongside the churning sounds of dark, industrial soundscapes, creating a sense that you're trapped in the belly of an impenetrable machine. But when entrapment sounds this good, I don't want to be saved.
