Moonbeam Rider Ep

greg feldwick aka slugabed releases his debut ep for ninja tune. 'moonbeam rider', follows previous outings on planet mu and ramp recordings and his imaginative re-working of hip-hop classics 'simon says' and 'witness', which grabbed the attention of mary-anne hobbs and benji b. the title track is a multi-coloured slice of kaleidoscopic synth lines, 8-bit melodies and off kilter drums, think flying lotus meets joker in a pub in space. 'heck flex' has something of a purple / bristol vibe about it with its melodic soft synths, swinging drums and bubbling basslines. as the ep progresses slugabed explores a varied palette of sounds, going in with some super glitched out and wonky styles on 'my sense of smell comes and goes', taking in some cosmic 2-step with 'tomorrow morning' and ending with the excellently titled, and just as well executed, 'nu krak swing'.
