BACK IN!!
Heavyweight garage chicago juke hybrid bomb on Night Slugs!
'I.R.L' The track's broken 808 drumkit captures the manic energy of Chicago's footwork/Juke movement at a UK-friendly 135bpm, while its monster island horns signal the coming of an ominous beast.
On the flip, Hyperdub / Rinse FM grime and UK house badman Scratcha DVA reinterprets "IRL" with his "Hi Emotions" remix. Piling on the sweltering pressure, DVA picks up particularly on the monstrous vibe of the original. This broken, grimey riddim makes a fitting soundtrack to Godzilla's destruction of some distant tropical island. Finally, Girl Unit picks up where "IRL" left off with the record's second original track, "Shade On". Another synthed-out, juked-out excursion even further into the realms of space, the track's pitched toms are set against arpeggiated harps in a battle of nice vs nasty.
Expect some serious booty shalin' on this one - BIG!!!
