Pure worries from the Harnessed The Storm album, plus three tracks missing from the vinyl version, including the deadly Aquatic Cataclysm.
‘Deep, cosmic, funky electro, full of feeling; a mesmerizing journey into the heart of summer’s fading glow.’
‘Earl is on another level. The way he deploys his skill, humor, and encyclopedic knowledge of hip-hop has made him one of the most effortlessly deep and cool rappers alive’ (Pitchfork).
Silent Servant from Sandwell District on call; and a Ventress.
No-nonsense, text-book Chicago House revivalism.’
Sparse beat tracks, 80s synth stabs and 727 latin percussion, expertly done to a crisp.
Ace.
Hotly recommended! Islam Chipsy’s debut studio album, recorded late last year in downtown Cairo. Four jolts of wild creativity and pure exhilaration — the trolleying frenzy of Trinity and Kahraba sandwiching his inimitable readings of the Egyptian standards Simsimiyya (from the north-eastern Nile delta) and Mouled Saidi (from Upper Egypt).
Twenty-three tracks, including four new exclusives and plenty of hard-to-find vinyl-specials: Floating Points, Fatima, Funkineven, Shuanise, Mizz Beats, Arp 101, Gifted And Blessed…
A magnificently malevolent two-hander.
The Ekman is a furiously maxed-out piledriver; the Vereker is more Thing than machine, massive and roiling, scorpion-tailed and owl-eyed. The pulverising besiegement; the gory carnage.
Proper warehouse bangers, with a vengeance.
