Ipman - Regicide / Ghostrunner - 12" Vinyl

Ipman follows releases on Osiris and Cold Recordings with two excellent dancefloor cuts on his debut for Tectonic. "Regicide" repackages the mid-1990s jungle experience into 140-BPM breakbeat science for 2015. Atmospherics and pads build in tension throughout the intro; a distorted Reese bass emerges from the depths over crashing breaks. "Ghostrunner" (128 BPM), originally featured in an earlier incarnation on the 2014 Pinch B2B Mumdance mix (TEC 018CD), appears here in its full, refined glory. A murky swamp of moodiness, hissing FX, and buzzing anxiety gives rise to an intoxicating swirl of arpeggios leading up to the drop.
