Trends & Boylan 'Untouchable' EP (Mean Streets)
More monstrous grime fare from two of the scene’s deadliest, who reunite here for the first time since 2016 smash ‘Norman Bates’. From the nightmarish overtures of the title track to the ferocious, crunching bass of ‘Ryme Time’, it’s easy to see why they’ve been a crossover favourite with dubstep stalwarts such as Caspa. ‘Untouchable’ references the face-melting, impact ‘drops’ of some early Circus and even Dub Police records. That said, final track ‘Crunch’ feels equally at home in the instrumental grime lane, powered by Boylan’s scorching bass sounds.
