Cardopusher has been unpredictable from the very beginning. The Venezuelan-born producer made his name making absurdist, sample-abusing breakcore before moving on to dubstep, garage, and house, ending up at the harder end of acid and EBM-influenced electro. He's also collaborated with Arca and produced music as Safety Trance, fully exploring reggaeton influences he's touched on since his early releases. In 2022, Cardopusher released a collaboration with Baseck and an epic remix of a track by DJ Wheez-ie, both of which found him returning to the high bpm intensity of his breakcore past but without the irreverent samples. Immaculate Poison is a mini-LP issued by John Frusciante and Aura T-09's Evar Records, which has quietly built up an incredible discography of forward-thinking post-rave records. The release is a fairly astonishing hybrid of hard trance and breakcore, with tense sequencers and chest-rattling terror breaks blasting forward at top velocity. "X-Tended Reality" is a flash storm of immaculately diced breaks and head-trip horror melodies. "Haunted" is one of the few moments to contain slightly more playful rave synths, but they're compounded by relentless gabber kicks, and "Unseen Terror" is an apocalyptic jungle meltdown. This is clearly one of Cardopusher's most exhilarating releases, and it's fascinating to hear him continue to push his music in more extreme directions again. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
