Sepia 'Pay Attention' EP (White Peach Records)
Another pearler of a 12” from brilliant young producer Sepia. Taking a short excursion from his classic dubstep leanings over the first two tracks, particularly on the rolling, hollowed-out trap patterns and icy, freeze-dried melodies of ‘Lean Back’, he displays a different side to his output. The bruising beats of the title track are offset by mellow interludes and hazy trumpet bursts, before he takes things deeper on the flip with the sinister tones of ‘Swing’. Final track ‘Shadows’ adopts a more familiar dubstep lean, charging along with heavyset, rumbling low-end and clattering percussive FX.
