"Gold
Like yellow, gold is associated with the sun and is therefore related to abundance, higher ideals, wisdom, and understanding. It is mentally revitalizing, engergizing, and inspiring, and helpful for fear, uncertainty, and lack of interest. Pale gold is excellent for depression and sharpens the mind."
Yes, yes gutter crew, this is the second in Rephlex's GRIME releases and this time, contained in a casket of Gold, it features tracks by some of the current bad-bwoy sound bwoys of the scenes Dub division; Digital Mystikz (aka Mala and Coki), Loefah and Kode 9. Synonymous with the low-end Fwd>> sound , these four artists have morphed out of the depths of Grime and into a something closer to the breaky, international sounds of Old School Jungle. A prime example of this is Kode 9's Swarm which lays down a wicked set of samples from a warm Asian rain-forest (somewhere unknown to cold grey London) over a dance-hall bass-line. Dislocated (Kode 9's little gem), is a Dub, House, Kung-Fu mash-up over a rolling bass-line but ultimately a journey to another place entirely. Loefah, well known for the sinister vibes of Horror Show (DMZ) also rides the Eastern tip on Beat Them and Bombay Squad, the latter combining haunting chants and tribal drums with futuristic sounds before hitting with the more minimal, tekky styles of 5 Elements. Finally, fellow DMZ label mates, Digital Mystikz dive deeper into the soul with the sorta basslines that weren't created simply to be heard. Awake (Mala) is a perfect example of this, an enchanting track that has you fooled into relaxation before hittin pounding out it's marchin orders, whilst Coki's Country Man is a slightly off the wall but none the less fresh and heavy Rocker's roller. Wicked selection.
Available now in all good record shops.
