Tune of the month
OneMind 'Skin Dem' (Metalheadz)
DLR and Mako’s experimental border patrol project OneMind treds the perfect line in frenetic 170bpm shenanigans with this standout from an eagerly awaited Headz EP. Heralded by what sounds like the THX sound sample as reimagined by Doc Scott, we’re plunged into a threshing machine of off-kilter stepping snares and hyperactive vocals that dance antagonistically – all knotted together with beaded bass nodes and waspish synths divebombing in the deep.
