SPD 'Tunwan' EP [Slime] - African-inspired UKG/Funky/Techno

SPD
'Tunwan' EP
(Slime Recordings)

1.Tunwan
2.Leafcreche
3.Sargent Chambers

Cat.No : SLM032

"One of the UK’s finest and most enlightened digital labels" - Loudat

"Always a haven for upcoming talent, Slime Recordings continue to generate heat" - Juno Download


Slime welcomes Liverpool producer SPD to the label with an outstanding collection of forward-thinking dance music that crosses the paths of many genres forming it's own style along the way.

'Tunwan' rolls in on an african chant, interlocking a heatbeat that skips into a cavernous bassline. All the best elements of garage are here, but suffused with polyrhythmic swagger that takes it above and beyond the confines of any genre - simply beautiful music that's good for the soul.

'Leafcreche' starts as one thing and ends as another, twisting around the structure of itself into ever more creative shapes. Atmospheric clicks and static gives way to an undulating minimal techno groove pinned down with a 2-step swing that propels it through ghostly vocals and ethereal FX.

'Sargent Chambers' strips the garage template back to it's raw skeletal core, with a melancholy warmth that draws you deep within it's grasp. Simply stunning electronic music from the heart.

Great review of this on Fat Session: http://fatsession.fr/2012/06/16/spd-tunwan-ep/
Sheppard Dub aka SPD released this marvelous EP called « Tunwan » two weeks ago on Slime Recordings. I just needed to listen to the 3 tracks one shot to understand the quality of these productions. My heart belongs to « Tunwan« . 2-step rhythm, heavy bassline, voodoo vocals. All the characteristics I’m in love with. « Sargent Chambers » is also a great meditating track giving the goose-flesh, all the more when you’re listening to it while it’s stormy outside like it is right now in Lyon (France). Finally « Leafcreche » has got something more funky and rhythmical but still very serious and true to the EP’s spirit. One of my favorite release this month. Enjoy « Tunawan » EP below and show your love to SPD.
