MDK came over last week to Barcelona , and played a fantastic set of death metal double bassdrums, motown, rod stewart and some brutal ragga sounds.
although the whole set was mixed up just the way i like it , the ragga sound cut through the shit system at the Astin bar better than everything else , even Maggie May.
it turns out the cutting ragga sound was this record - Pressure by The Bug on Rephlex. Man , this shit is SO ruff! the beats and basses and crunchin mids are wild analogue and distorted , sounds like 909s and EMS in there - there's a sprinklin of nuschool fx on some of the MCing ( the rootsman , wayne lonesone , daddy freddy , tikiman ) , but on the whole its the music that bites hard enough to back up the tuffness of the modern dancehall MC rhythms.
of course , the man behind the instrumentals is Kevin Martin - we all know of him here at erutufon as being the man behind experimental and hard hitting hip-hop outfit Techno Animal.
the album is not a 'nice' album by any means , most of the tracks are aggressive and vigourous, but its totally unique nonetheless and will certainly force things along with its powerful energy.
find out more about this album from the Rephlex (http://www.rephlex.com) website.
my rating the bug - pressure
