  • All Centre is a label that showcases sounds from across the spectrum of club music, exploring industrial themes, techno and more. Run by DJ Pitch and Simkin, the pair celebrate the label's second anniversary with the release of a compilation in support of The Black Curriculum, an organisation campaigning to change the teaching of Black history in UK schools. This compilation includes a contribution from SHE Spells Doom, a Zambian artist known for his dynamic and club-ready beats. His approach to club music appears to be driven by his impressive arrangement of drums. You can hear it in his previous releases, including his popular bootleg of Dawn Richard's "How I Get It." For All Centre, he continues with this style by delivering a gqom track, "Cryptid." The repetitive and raw elements that define the sound of gqom shine through. A common theme of All Centre's compilation is the build-up of momentum. On "Cryptid," SHE Spells Doom achieves this momentum through the gradual progression in the opening section, then a sharp advancement into the main body, where harsh sounds are intertwined with striking percussion. The solid structure of "Cryptid" contributes to the cohesive sound that is universal in his music.
