DJ Cable feat GHSTLY XXVII 'Ride To This' (Triangulum)
DJ Cable has been prolific with his Triangulum imprint this year, releasing records from the likes of Darkness, Habitat, Neffa-T, Sware and rising MC GHSTLY XXVII (previously Ghostly), who returns here on the punchy ‘Ride To This’. Although it feels like it’s been aimed at the radio more than the club, there’s a sense of cinema to Cable’s production work, the instrumental a mesh of booming, trappy 808 beats, trademark snare rolls and freeze-dried melodies. GHSTLY XXVII catches a vibe, too, strapping pertinent lyrics about grind and hustle with a sense of purpose.
