Repulsion 'Repulsion' EP (Substantial Audio)
Killer dub pressure on fledgling label Substantial Audio, courtesy of US-based producer Repulsion. Opener ‘Agreement’ offers a rattling, percussive introduction to an EP that packs a tonne of bass weight, as evidenced by the whirling, mind-binding bass patterns and euphoric breakdowns on second track ‘Easy On The Syrup’. Third track ‘Sector C’ follows ‘Agreement’ in honing in on a percussive sound, this time melding together tribal drumwork and angular bass textures, before ‘Seekers’ closes out with more percussive rattles and snaps providing the foil for short bursts of frenzied bass explosions.
