Review:
Dresden native Cuthead portrays himself as an insect-filming love god with a passion for MPCs, fine food and experimental hip-hop. Here, he gives a glimpse of that wonk-hop passion with a fine EP for Uncanny Valley. Yet the two off-kilter hip-hop cuts here - the brilliant "Seram Lembah" and Bullion-ish "Heartless" - are merely a neat bonus; the EP's killer material takes a more house-centric approach. Both "Brother" (thick and creamy) and "Vibratin" (dubby and leftfield) display a looseness and lightness of touch rarely seen in analogue-heavy deep house productions. Then there's the wonderfully alien "Transgressions", which sounds like Maxmillion Dunbar put through the Uncanny Valley filter.
