Boom Bip, Triptych, Tramway, Glasgow, 28 Apr

Brian Hollon's talent is his ability to reinvent old genres, to pervert and restructure tired forms to brilliant effect. When we had him pegged as a hip-hop DJ, he dropped an album with Doseone that sounded like E.E. Cummings headbutting a drum machine to death. When we figured he was one of those 'instrumental hip-hop' types, and indistinguishable from Dabrye or Company Flow, he started making eerie, spine-tingling minimalist pieces with psychedelic guitars. And now this. It's terrifying really; three guys dressed in blinding white tracksuits playing retro keyboards and synthy drum-pads whilst 8-bit visuals trash your retinas. Like Goldie Looking Chain playing "trans-valleys Expressway" and pretending to be Karl Bartos. It's undeniably hip-hop, with Hollon scratching his way through the final track, but the majority of the criminally short set is cut from the Sacchrilege EP, full of bouncy electro riffs cut to the Boom Bip template. Snook Addis and One of Eleven recall Fad Gadget, Depeche Mode and the like in the best possible way, and it's yet another pleasant surprise from electronica's favourite trickster. Surreally uplifting stuff. [Liam Arnold]
