Review: Murder He Wrote straight out of Manchester brings a second version to his self titled 'Murder He Wrote' collection of tracks and bangers. Where the first compilation took in some production highlights that dated back to 2016, part two brims with two brand spanking new originals in "Tweet" and "Frozen", while the six others have all been lifted from the guy's massive Roska Kicks & Snares back cat. It provides a step back from the vocal heavy tunes from the producer of late, with the MHW returning to his roots in sub-bass, drums and percussion fully designed for the club.
Review: Following on from an excellent single drop on RKS, Murder He Wrote is back at it again with a feature length LP, celebrating the future of UK funky across eight wavy originals. This is a real lesson in the breadth of UK funky, from the minimal, percussive lead sounds of 'Club Soda' and 'Watch The Tempo', to the beautiful vocals of both 'Lapse' alongside Roska and Maddy Ellerby and 'Say It Twice'. From here 'Stopwatch' gives us some experimental flavours, alongside the nostalgic piano lines of 'Smokes & Lazers' and crunchy LFO action of 'Watch the Tempo'. Finally, 'That Love' provides us with a euphoric drift between potent subs and colourful percussive patterns, rounding off an excellent selection indeed.
Review: Every badman's favourite scholar Murder He Wrote returns to Roska's ever ready Kicks & Snares with some of his most striking numbers to date. "Nasty" swings with a loose snare UK funky arrangement, sticky Bovril bass and a subtly sultry vocal before he suddenly hurls us into a near-orgasmic breakdown then sends us off on our (nasty) ways. "Game Over" hits with a dreamier twang as shimmering chords warm snugly around a classic break and pushed 4/4. Need a little more grit? Crunch down on the heavier gnarled-bass VIP. Absolute regicide!
