Review: Unkoded, the collab project of Kodan and Unkut, are back with a fresh EP on Dub Plate Dread, a sub-label of the legendary Dread Recordings. They've been laying low since their last banger on V Recordings' Chronic, but now they're unleashing four cuts of pure, unadulterated jungle that'll melt your face. The whole EP oozes that classic Dread Recordings sound, with heavy basslines, iconic samples, and breakneck drums that'll have you rewindin' in disbelief. "Dread 1" throws it back to the golden age, throwin' down a reese bass that'll instantly transport you back to the days of rave glory. Then "Dread 2" hits you with a face-melting combo of warped bass, Amen breaks, and jazzy vocals - it's like a jungle rave straight outta an 80s movie, in the best way possible. Things get even darker with "Run It Dread." Dub sirens and vocal cuts pierce through the frenetic drop, where thunderous 808s, squelchy FM wobbles, and pulsating Reese basses take center stage. This one is a dancefloor destroyer, guaranteed to cause some serious damage. Finally, "EP Shadow Dub" closes out the EP with a bang. Resonant 808s and filtered breaks build up to a monstrous drop, filled with a roaring bassline and crisp breaks that'll rattle your bones. This track is pure dancefloor dynamite, leaving you wanting more.
