Review: We love releases that are dusty and murky, the sort of releases you find stowed away on an old vinyl in your nan's loft but which turn out to be proper gems. Although this one is brand spannking new and so we doubt your gran will have a copy in her loft, it's appropriately wicked, stretching out as it does over two jungle inflected tunes. The A-side, 'The Assassinator', is grounded in a celestial soundscapes and punctuated through the middle by rustic snare hits and stabbing bass wobbles, making a really atmospheric number. The flip is more traditional jungle territory, with a stomping break that's permeated through with anarchic ambience. Wicked.
Review: Furniss has taken a rather original approach to this jump-up two-tracker, with both tunes rolling out the introductions before flipping into their dancefloor iterations. 'Is It Possible' is our favourite of the two, with a eerie atmospherics and punchy drums leading you in on the build and laying the groundwork for what turns into a stabby rendition of dancefloor destruction. 'Sinister' is a even more raucous but still carries some funk nonetheless, this time that infectiousness being transposed onto an even darker context. The album art is the final nice touch to what is an incredibly slick release. Well played boys!
Review: Furniss isn't an artist we're intimately familiar with, which makes the strength of this single all the nicer, as he or she come right out of the blocks with a Benny L-esque construction of grating basses and urban-edged dancefloor orientation. The tunes are slightly scary in their unabashed approach to making the most jarring yet still wicked construction of sounds, it's properly industrial and that vibe drips from every corner of this release. 'Polizia' is the highlight for us: simple yet very effective.
