Review: Since their inception, the Strange Times team have been doing a great job of releasing original, fragrant garage material, with this latest thumper from Honey T again pushing the boundaries of where 2 step may tread. We open up with 'Touch', an industrious bubbler that focuses on a fusion of grinding bass squeals and emotive piano chords, with the more ethereal backdrops of 'Nobodey' then arriving for an immediate switch up. From here, 'Back In Time' delivers a saxophone strewn soundscape, operating at a slower tempo which really works, before 'Sunchain' delivers the emotive crescendo to the EP.
Review: Next up on Strange Times, a very enjoyable outing indeed as they welcome the enigmatic garage influences of Red Pal inside, unloading four subtle, yet smokey originals. We begin our dive into this with a look at the title track 'Driving Rough', a vocal-laiden slink through sweating sub pulses and distant arpeggiated melody bumps, with 'Let's Date Around' then ushering in a crunchy wave of 2-step flavour, doused in more grizzly low ends. We then move into 'U N I', a more emotive roller, topped with ghostly vocal overlays and a generally chilling feel, before 'Moving Mad' gives us the delicate closer we needed, rounding off this very well thought out collection with a final sip of finesse.
