- New Orleans-style Voodoo imagery and a release conveniently timed to hit the Halloween season—you'd be forgiven for thinking that the (predictably) shadowy Dawn Day Night is not to be taken too seriously. But you'd be wrong. There may be a glint in the producer's eye as he made them, but these four pithy tracks shuttle back and forth across the bass continuum with aplomb—from jungle rhythms to ghetto tech to juke and all things in between.
Opener "Alcoholic Dance Flow" grafts high-stepping drum & bass to footwork tropes, joyously employing the Amen break and pile-driving drops. Summoning up the rump-shaking spirit of 2 Live Crew, but shaving a sizeable portion off the BPM count, "Big Booty Bass" uses abrasive sonar blips, thunderous sub-bass and cut-up rap vocals. It goes into nutty overdrive again with "Death of Scorpio," a rollicking three-minute, amphetamine-insane, conga-filled juke-ish number. The circle is completed by "Voodoo Vibe," a dark, mid-paced junglist stomp counteracted by breathless percussive juke tinklings.
