Trends 'In The Jungle/Iron Fist' (Slimzos)
More fire from grime’s most active producer in Trends, this time for Slimzee’s legendary imprint Slimzos, which has been freshly rebooted for 2017. We’ve marvelled at the brutality of his straight-to-the-neck brand of beat-making time and time again, but he still continues to surprise, as the marching gun-shot intro to A-side ‘In The Jungle’ testifies. Warped bass rumbles then slices through the noise to give the track a snarling flow, while on the flip, ‘Iron Fist’ does exactly what it says on the tin. Think more rasping, demented bass programming, this time punctuated by flashes of industrial percussion and off-the-wall FX.
