Released: Feb 2009 Catalogue Number: CLDUB008
The absolute pick of this week's dubstep selections comes courtesy of
Narcossist, collecting three of his finest productions for Clandestine
Cultivations. We've long been aware of the man's burgeoning talent so
it's wicked to see some recognition on wax with some stone cold
classics given a proper heavyweight pressing. Sidestepping any populist
tropes, 'Brothel Creeper' is a pure heads tune for fans of Burial, El-B
or Zed Bias with dark garage breaks pivoting sharply around deep set
subbass providing the rhythmic chassis, with slashes into various
darkside rave signals balanced by dubtech chords and a pervasively
uneasy atmosphere made for late night listening. It's a LOT. 'Targets'
lightens the mood with a killer garage mover skipping like the
melancholy offspring of Steve Gurley and Kode 9, before 'Cold Brew'
shuts the lights again with a tech-stepping garage flex that's in a
league of it's own. If you like your dubstep to be dark, sensual, and
rhythmically irresistable get on this 12" soon as. Highly Recommended!
