BRIXTON’S R.O.C, who bring the darkness and the devil-may-care to their particularly twisted twist on all things electro – I mean, who else would base a hypnotic, shadowy single for Virgin on a loop of Ugandan despot Idi Amin’s laugh? – are back in the saddle, folks; they’re all ready, a year to the day …
