Review: Following his recent excursions on the likes of Pick The Lock and Kartoons, OnlyDrums bossman 10AD goes in deep with his debut LP. Pure unadulterated dancefloor power, High Roller lives up to its name in every direction; cuts like the title track bring a sense of funk and class thanks to big musical sweeps while cuts like 'Missing' bring the level up with major league cameos from the likes of Traumatik. Other collabo appearances include Froidy on the stalking dark funk creeper 'Heavy Init' and Decrypt on the scatty, springy 2012-flavoured banger 'Things They Do'. 'Spaceboy' brings the final note on a slower, old school breaks flex. Ready for take off?
Review: Onlydrums bossman 10AD makes his debut on Nick The Lot's Pick The Lock with four slabs of high intensity jump up business. 'New Path' sets us up as we mean to go on... Big swaggering beats and a woozy, tippy bassline oozing all over the shop. Deeper into the EP we see him linking up with Duece for 'Glitch' where the beats bounce on a similar triplet but the bassline is pure subby harmonics, 'Energize' ups the momentum with skippier drums and breezier rave tones while 'The Price' finishes on the grizzliest note of the EP. Uncompromised alien funk. This is a path worth exploring...
