Nc 17 Ep

brilliant doublepack from starkey here, featuring 3 new tracks alongside remixes from drop the lime, dj c, atki2, dev79 and murderbot - all pressed up on extremely loud double vinyl. the set kicks off with "stripped / gutted" - another starkey special taking in some bass ruffage with elongated snares and a filthy sheen that places it somewhere between dubstep, grime, hip hop and breakcore. "let you go" is a lot more subdued, disperate melodies weaving into a mesh of dense atmosphere before the obligatory drop takes over and churns out another grinding bass cacophony that works a treat. "pins", meanwhile, is the most crisp and upfront of the new tracks - a metallic clank providing the percussive backbone while clever edits and sharpened stabs make this a perfect 4/4 variant for those of you looking to mash up the dance. onto the remixes - and atki2 takes on "pins" and wheezes out an even more overtly techno fusion that's full of subtle padded bass and melodic flurries, while murderbot fuels the original into a squashed gabbacore frenzy that's tailor-made for mentalists among you loving the new sounds of bass. conforming to our highest expectations, dj c unleashes another dancehall reduction that pushes the low-end so deep into the mix it'll rattle your teeth, while drop the lime hits an energy rush so hyperactive you'll need a couple of hours recovery once played. excellent stuff - limited copies!
