Nick Douglas - Identity Ep

  • Share
  • Next up from the Wallop stable is an incredibly tasty electro-tech three tracker from Bristol based crew Doug Ross & Nick Hill entitled the Identity Ep.Both artists have notched up a respectable bunch of credentials having worked with labels such as Emi,Defunked,React and Advanced recordings to name just a handful. Identity is the first track,starting off with a bunch of clicky percussion along with tight stabs enforcing a direction as more elements begin to hit off each other,gathering momentum with the addition of vocal cuts played around with for maximum effect.Events strip back as in sweeps a big dirty synthline pulsating around the ricocheting drum patterns,enhancing the big room vibe. Desert storm starts off in the same mould as before with clipping perc's creating the rhythm but not for long as a filthy,phat ass bassline rears its head,spluttering and squelching as momentary fills break up the hypnotic flow.Vocals are played about with as the glitching elements work about a whole range of enticing angry cuts.Ouch!....this track bites. Closing the door on this release is Cordoba focus,progging things up with an electro flavoured groove.Catchy basslines and vocoded female vocals create an air of suspense as tight hat rhythms keep the energy at maximum.mid way a beckoning melody has surfaced just adding that extra lift needed to make us smile. The production on this Ep is crisp,clean and darn tight with each track holding its own.A definite bullseye hit from Wallop.
