Review: Whenever we see Sukh Knight touch down on DAKU we know we are likely in for a very enjoyable time, with Shandy this time joining him for a fiery two-tracker. This is a link up we have seen pay dividends so many times over the years, with this latest motive being no different, opening up with the eerie melodic loops and crunchy drum work of 'Surj', a typically vibrant display from the two dubstep veterans. On the flip to this we then dive into the sounds of 'Unseen', a more tearout-style creation, focussing on hard hitting synthesiser growls and organic drum shuffles, giving us a pleasing juxtaposition between live and digital elements. It's another well thought out display from team DAKU, who have impressed once again.
Review: Sukh Knight, an srtist not to be confused with the Cali hip-hop don, touches down on the Circle Vision imprint with five jaw-breaking slices of dubstep, and he sounds like he's in the mood to break some teeth along the way. "Scorpion" has a bass that will literally blow your canister off at high volumes, with both "Creation" and "First Contact" following upon that with different variations grizzly, distorted low frequencies. The remix comes from DJ Madd 160, who turns "Scorpion" into more of a footwork-led belter, whereas the closing "Foot Soldiers" is an unashamedly potent cascade of bro-bass that sounds a little too close to total fallout. YES!
Review: We've been calling him this for a while behind his back but we'll just come out with it now... Sukh Knight is officially "Renegade" master and this gully whipslaps are proof. "Renegade" (a long-demanded dubplate this year) hits hard with Sukh's gruff, brash funk while the VIP of "Nightcrawler" subverts in all the right places. Deeper into the EP we glide for a little eastern grit while as both "Hands Up" and "Thugz" touch down in Mumbai for gnarly nuances of Bollywood badness. Back once again!
