Carl Finlow & Dez Williams 'Split EP' (Bass Agenda Recordings)
Bass Agenda Recordings unites two of the UK’s most respected electro producers, Carl Finlow and Dez Williams, for this aptly titled split EP. Finlow is, of course, one half of 20:20 Vision alongside Ralph Lawson, and hia opening contribution ‘Bleem’ rides along on a bed of scattered top lines, grizzly bass tones and caustic leads. ‘Chemical Bonds’, however, goes for the jugular with excitable stabs and discombobulating basslines. Williams, on the other hand, delivers a tour de force of warehouse fodder that unites acid, breaks and rave across ‘Interference Pattern’, ‘Dayzov V1.1’ (which really ups the ante) and ‘Whitey’.
