Detboi At Juno Download

Review: Described by the Irish producer Detboi as being the result of "a demo-based soundtrack to cut up videos which has now been turned into a nine track LP", Darkside appears on Herve's Deep Thrills this week with some truly menacing and dark beats, including the dubby-jack of the title-tune, the dubstep-esque beat scramble of "Stay With Me" and the old-school garage punch of "Give It Up". Crafting a sound that's both minimal yet thoroughly rude, Detboi really comes into his own on this highly recommended release.

Review: This is the Irish producer's first release since last year's long player, Darkside. "I Can't Take It" is a thoroughly idiosyncratic excursion into a whole host of styles, all married together with his fondness for depth. For just one tune, he packs in a lot: it boasts shimmery RnB effects, campy pitched down vocals, snippets of a retro house organ, punishing/tropical 2-step rhythms and some seriously deep bass frequencies and it sounds like no-one else - always the sign of a good producer.
