IDAMOS 'Pitch Invasion' EP (Moda black)
We were first introduced to IDAMOS when he released the sturdy ‘Heads Down’ on a Moda Black compilation. His contribution was one of that album’s highlights, and pointed to a promising future for the producer (who’s acronym stands for I Do All My Own Stunts). But any stunt, whether it’s jumping from tall buildings or rolling a car, is usurped by his house productions. The title track of his new EP features OVR KILL and is a peak-time cut with relentless beats that includes acid squelches and pinging bleeps. ‘The Flex’, with its eerie synths and bumping bass, sounds like Roman Flügel on whisky, but the standout is the dub version of ‘Comfort In Madness’, with its haunted house sound of metal clangs and staccato synths.
