Spooky 'No Days Off EP' (Ghost House Records)
A flurry of Spooky releases have punctuated grime’s summer so far, but ‘No Days Off’ is the first for his own Ghost House imprint since 2014. Chopping up booming trap breaks, classic jungle samples (listen out for a demented flip of The Ganja Kru’s ‘Super Sharp Shooter’ on ‘Rest In Peace’) and scorching pressure, it's a relentless EP. Our tip is the menacing ‘Creepin’, with its crunchy, 808 trap patterns and grand, orchestral synths that cut through the crud like shards of glass.
