-- " ... If your body doesn’t react to this manic electro jackhammer consult your doctor and ask for an adrenalin injection. This non-stop synth steamroller goes 100 miles per hour without looking back. No brakes, full steam ahead. The fast and the furious for some explosive dance floor action. A crushing curse you’ll embrace with both arms while pirouetting yourself dizzy... " (turnupthevolume.blog/2021/05/...)
