Pete Swanson - Punk Authority

Review by Noel Gardner

Pete Swanson’s current techno mode chimes helpfully with other broadly like minds of the moment, but he’s definitely establishing his own niche with Punk Authority.»

Following the devastating one-two punch of Man With Potential and Pro Style for Type Records, Pete Swanson returns to his deformed warehouse techno sound with 'Punk Authority'. With a sly nod to Police Academy, 'Punk Authority' launches into a barrage of debauched, regressive noise punctuated by the kind of beats you'd more readily expect to find on an Underground Resistance 12" (And that's as effortlessly engaging as it sounds). Using a deceptively simple synthesizer / tape setup, Swanson siphons his club constructions through a hoarse mix of saturation and overdrive, resulting in something aggressive yet effortlessly foot pushing. on the Software Recording Co / Mexican Summer.
