89! Gloom – Ilian Tape X 38

Sheffield artist Commodo – long a mainstay of Deep Medi and Black Acre – hooks up with Turkish dubstep producer Gantz again here to explore heavy low-end percolations on Ilian Tape’s revered ITX Series. ‘Left Hand Path’ has earth-shattering kicks and scraping hits that are coated in lo-fi and grain pads for ultimate subterranean menace. ’89! Gloom’ is a more nimble rhythm with a slippery lead line bringing extra movement as the low-end throb keeps you locked. ‘Shake And Lurk’ closes out with some brighter melodic intrigue to bring a ray of optimism to the glory but brilliant bass.
