Featuring weighty 808s, infectious wonky grooves and menacing breakbeat interludes - Denver’s finest bass technician DMVU is back on DDD with Bruk EP - a release so hot it renders a dragon’s fire half-cooked. The producer offers a virtuoso statement of intent throughout, meshing the old and the new - with no millisecond wasted in his forensically detailed yet fantastically cohesive audio package.
With dub influenced vocal samples and bouncing beats a recurring theme, title track Bruk kicks things off with aplomb with a thunderous drop set to shake speaker stacks across continents - making way for eerie atmospheres and warped percussive textures.
Original Champion’s quirky charm presents itself as some sort of bastard dubstep lovechild between a mad mediaeval sorcerer and an 80s retro synthwave icon, before Suspect comes in swinging - slapping you right around the chops.
EP closer Playback points to history and the future, with nods to the dub reggae that spawned sound-system culture - quickly making way for techy, quickfire and metallic stabs on the drop - one that will do damage, no doubt.
