Although several years had passed since the 2007 release "Humanoids from the Deep" , there still wasn't much spark in the Acucrack camp to release another album. Tracks had been built, abandoned, revisited and tweaked, but no album. The shocking passing of Jamie Duffy in 2012 led to the coordination of all that material by partner Jason Novak, and in late 2013, "The Mawn Reproduction" was released. Additional sounds and samples were brought in courtesy of Sean Payne (Cyanotic), long joked as the son of Jamie, who was long joked to be the son of Novak. Thus, grandson and grandpa finished the record, a return to Acucrack's industrial roots. Slicing jams like "Violence" and "Xtro" show a new, slick side to the project, with experimental tracks and surprisingly only one drum n' bass offering, the malevolent "Pineal Splitter." A solid crushing 10 tracks prove that even without the "DJ?", Acucrack is here to punch a hole in anything cookie-cutter in the electronic genre.
