Saule 'Cure Dem' EP (Infernal Sounds)
Thumping new-age dub from Gourmet Beats prodigy Saule, here, on Infernal Sounds’ latest plate, the fierce and ever-ready ‘Cure Dem’ EP. The title track opens with some crushing, fully charged sub and dizzying bass horns – it’s properly anthemic, lighters-up stuff – while over on the flip, B-side ‘Suede’ goes hard in the paint, although from a more industrial, percussive standpoint. Fellow stateside producer Mesck turns in a cut-throat remix of ‘Suede’ too, throwing wheezing, contorted bass tones, sci-fi FX and shattered glass into the mix. A booming 12”.
