Cat.No : SLM018
Slime returns with yet another super fresh delivery of melt in your mouth musical morsels, hitting you up in our time honoured tradition with an incredible debut artist - this time in the guise of the hugely talented Marlon. This young producer has a style all of his own, with a blend of house, techno and dubstep that is both cavernous and intimate. Prepare for some serious chestplate demolition across three tracks that extrapolate all the fun elements of dub techno and plonk them unceremoniously directly on to the dancefloor.
'Hum' brings you the bassweight in a rambunctious style, with melodic elements drenched in echo driving a sparse, skeletal beat directly into your brain stem. A little vocal snippet gives us all a valuable ettiquette lesson about the way to address his most highness, before the ectopic drums pin your chest to the floor.
'Check' is a toasty warm deep house roller with delusions of being a rave-powered podium squeezer. Subtle chords and keys undulate around your ears with a saucy demanour before the track breaks away into a synth stab classic.
'Talk To Ya' spirals out of a sinister slow vocal and rave horns into a pounding dubstep hybrid that will shake the cobwebs out of your ears for sure. May induce systemic ankle snapping in clubs worldwide as they attempt to keep up with the serpentine rhythm.
Meanwhile Parisian producer Hybu takes the lead track and twists it into a glittering slow-motion house banger, with deep chords and acid sprials combining to power up a truly magnificent rework of the original.
