Sepia 'Ancient Tribes' EP (Transient Audio)
Dubstep protege Sepia has enjoyed a busy year and signs off with a new EP for lTransient Audio here. ‘Vacant’ details a tribal drumbeat intro that soon comes to life with warming, subby bass tones, while the titl track carries its own enchanting charm, matched by deepest, darkest sub. ‘Consequence’ draws the record to a close with more booming sub, only this time offset by fluttery string melodies, showcasing his ability to balance rough with smooth.
