Forms レコード& CD

Review: London’s ADMNTi steps out with a four-tracker that distils years of dancefloor immersion into sharp, percussive club tools with distinct UK flair. ‘Second Hand Sushi’ drives the point home with its snapping drums, snarling basslines and wiry synth stabs—big-room energy and definitely no bloat. ‘Lost Fruits’ stays steppy, leaning into sub pressure and pirate radio textures, soundbites crackling like a tape pack rewind. On the flip, ‘Diptych’ shifts tone without dropping pace—chopped strings and warped vocals glide over crunchy drum work, locking into a more introspective groove. Closer ‘Shrublands’ dips further into dubwise atmospherics, pairing wobbly low-end with hazy flute lines and ghosted sax, while snippets of graffiti lore from both London and New York float through the mist. Early support from Ben UFO, Enzo Siragusa and Tristan da Cunha points to the range and functionality of these cuts—whether heads-down or heads-up, they pull threads from the capital’s soundsystem heritage into something that works across times and tempos. A strong first outing for Forms World and a clear step forward from ADMNTi.
