Ian DPM – Plenty Of Nothing
The sense of sway doubles with the metallic acid line that ties the tune together. I only caught the classic vocal stabs, the 32s of house hats, and the underground lake of bass on my 4th listen.
Read MoreSupply – Right Now
Rattling hats outline the pacy tempo whilst a warping, distorted bass riff barges its way right to the front, driven forward by the barked shouts of the gassed-up MC.
