The Berkane Sol label returns with its third release -- again by Nottingham-based producer, Geiom. The A-side, 'Feel So Bad,' is a slight departure from the previous 12"s -- it's a full vocal reggae/dubstep track featuring the microphone talents of Terrible Shock. He honed his skills in the ultra competitive ragga studios of his native Jamaica and has been working with Geiom on different projects for some time now. The track rides on a smooth deep b-line and some lush, drifting keyboard parts, driven along by a distinctive cowbell pattern and some massive dub snares. It has been described as sounding 'like (Berlin dubmeisters) Rhythm and Sound in a washing machine.' Lyric-wise it's a heartfelt but very quirky tale by Shocks about getting kicked out by his girl. 'De Nim e Le Fant' on the flip is a more electro-style instrumental dubstep tune -- 808 kicks and snares get pitched all over the place to create a real bass assault when played out on a rig. Analogue keyboards form themselves into almost disco-style stabs reminiscent of Detroit techno legends Red Planet, all adding together to create a tune that is somehow ethereal and intense at the same time. This 12" has already got DJ support from the likes of Kode 9, DJ Pinch and Horsepower Productions' Benny Ill.
