Proc Fiskal 'The Highland Mob' EP (Hyperdub)

Future-tilted 160bpm instrumental grime from Scottish producer Proc Fiskal, who debuts for Hyperdub with new release ‘The Highland Mob’. Re-tooling grime’s traditional make-up at faster tempos has its drawbacks, but here Fiskal just about pulls it off: from the rasping square waves, Eski clicks and fluid, sino melodies on opener ‘£’ to the the footwork-paced, low-end rumble of ‘Lamentation’, the result is dizzying and in most parts, oddly satisfying. ‘Skulka’ is arguably the most slapstick of the lot, awash with plenty of crash, bang, wallops and gunshot ripples. Our tip, though, is ‘Acidic Hoes’, a tune that grows wilder and more bolshie with every passing second.

7/10
