A bass driven snarling number kicks off the Strangled Helicopter EP,
Jackals (by Tactus) embodies everything that is good about dubstep.
Dark and unforgiving, changing direction and taking the listener to a
whole new level this is a mature sounding track, clearly the production
levels have been stepped up lending this a much cleaner sound. You
cannot help but get swept away by this track, Jackals captures the mood
just right; a big tune in the making.
Track 2 Out of my Depth (by Camphor Haze) is a whirling wall of
sound which engages listeners straight away. Upon listening to this I
pick up subtle little changes, which I personally find fascinating, a
great insight into how the producer is thinking at the time. Out of my
Depth grows as a track and you will end up falling in love with this
tune for sure.
Like a sledge hammer, Santa Muerte (by The Mighty Cornelius), hits
you square between the eyes. The kind of track that makes me sit up and
take notice. This is one of my favourites off the EP; a futuristic
dubby sound vibrates around your head. A full on track not one for the
faint hearted it races along not letting up at any point. It engulfs
you and then spits you out.
Track 4 (Home Guider by Tactus) takes no prisoners, it shakes you with
both hands pounding and pulsating, intermingled with a sharp, hard
thrust of base. It would be interesting to hear this on a full P.A
system, as I believe this track has all the potential to blow your head
off and leave nothing behind but your size 10’s.
The Black Meat (by The Mighty Cornelius) is a slow seductive
number following on from where Home Guider left off. It moves with ease
intoxicating senses with the ability to delight listeners, drawing them
in and then throwing a curve ball that leaves them stunned.
Drifter (by Camphor Haze) is the final track of the EP; it sticks
two fingers up and announces itself aloud and in your face. This is a
great way to finish an EP which will leave you wanting more. All in all
the tracks successfully compliment each other with the style and
dignity you would expect from Abaga.
