’Lothian Buses’ is an EP of collisions with Proc Fiskal amalgamating his twinkling, caffeinated grime sound with the rhythms and sounds of other genres.
‘Thurs Jung Yout’ is a kind of shoegaze-drill with strings and gentle tones swelling and dissipating against busy beats. ‘Baguettes’ is a more classic Proc sound, galloping rhythm against sparse melody which originated as a quick fix for a live show. ‘Choco Frito (Calamari)’ was influenced by DJing in Portugal in the sunshine and hearing Kuduro played out, latticing drum patterns nodding to the style, dropping into a sunny accordion chorus and plucked guitar line.
‘Scarab Aloph’ is compressed, full of micro-glitches, tight drum fills and incidental drop-outs across a pretty melody, while ‘HopeTak2’ is his percussive, breezy take on funky house with smiley melodic stabs. Finally, ‘Mullit Madollock’ refits and updates the sonics of airy Bukem-style atmospheric jungle with grime-inspired melodic bass kicks.
