Caski 'Traitor' EP (Trapped Audio)
Bristol’s Caski follows OH91 in turning out for imprint-on-the-rise Trapped Audio, with new EP ‘Traitor’ an exercise in percussive weight and abstract rhythms. The title track is dark and eerie, defined by twisting patterns, looped FX and crunchy, industrial textures, all offset by booming, low-slung bass notes that really do land like hammer blows. Grime don OH91 turns in a scorching remix to boot, before Caski joins Near on bouncy, two-step joint ‘Got Me’.
