Spirit In The Underworld

Urgent new forays into the Hadean coils of classic techno, jungle, grime, and dub. Big-bottomed, nitty-gritty studies in dread, running edginess hard into craft, the here-and-now into the space-world.

With just a dense low-end buzz and ticking, mid-tempo drum-machine, Intro-Core sets the scene: the mood is tense; the music is dubwise, live-and-direct, supple.

Flipped Out Tango despatches a nasty stinking piece of vintage Grime to the rave; Hypnotic Jungle ritualistically combines a crispy Jungle roll with a little synthpop relish.

Closing, the title-track punctuates hard-grooving grime-style bass with some stunning percussion - and focalizes the EP's atmosphere of dread and menace.
