RDG & Gaze ill 'Keepin’ It Real' EP (Cueline Records)
Here’s an impressive quartet of booming dub heaters from RDG & Gaze ill for the first release on new label Cueline. The two producers collide on brutal, super-sharp opener ‘Keepin’ It Real’ and storming, hyper-minimal dub techno workout ‘The Zone’. On the flip, RDG presents a nightmarish, dystopian backdrop on the clattering, industrial ‘Shapeshift’, before Gaze signs off with relentless, heavyset wobble on the slightly divisive ‘Combo’.
