Gemmy 'Bamboozled' EP (W.O.W)
High power fare from OG dubstep champ Gemmy, who delivers his first material since 2013 in the form of new four-track EP ‘Bamboozled’. Rooted in the iconic purple dubstep sound of his home city of Bristol, ‘Bamboozled’ is naturally awash with nostalgic references, but still delivers plenty of new thrills – particularly via the monstrous low-end of the title track and the bracing, pensive feels to the purpley heartbreak of ‘Lost Love’. He switches up the musicality on the jazzy freneticism of ‘Champ’, before rolling back the years on sci-fi grime tip ‘16s’. Booming EP.
