Shudan 'Ice Chirps' EP (White Peach)
Four fresh tracks of in-your-face grime from White Peach regular Shudan, here. Opener ‘Neko Riddim’ is awash with sino references and off-piste melodies, but it’s the chop-and-screw approach to programming that hits home loudest, while ‘Chat Shit Get Banged’ deals in murky, rumbling low-end akin to producers such as Trends and Spooky. Third track ‘Amaterasu’ is just as brash, only this time punctuated by aqua-themed pan pipe melodies and odd periods of hazy calm, before the title track rounds off with layers of cinematic texture and scope.
7/10
