There’s a ruthless elegance to Roel Butzen’s new four-tracker on Dark Distorted Signals: a record that speaks in straight lines and steel edges, built for rooms where the smoke never settles. The title cut, “Saw,” advances like a conveyor of teeth—tight low-end, clipped percussion, and a lead that doesn’t so much cut as plane the air. “Violent Wake Up (Dark Distorted Remix)” flips the legacy script: classic DNA retooled into a modern floor pusher, with the label head’s remix sharpening transients and stretching the stereo image for maximum impact. “Playground” is misdirection by name; it’s a discipline exercise, a ping-pong between tom pressure and a sub that hums like voltage through concrete. The closing “Saw (Chain Edit)” compresses the narrative into something leaner and meaner—built for compact transitions and double-drops. Out via Dark Distorted Signals (cat.
