A welcomed snippet of expansive bass lines that break apart, slip away and all come back together into a cohesive unit of dub strained inflections, slippery rhythmic stabs and tangential grooves.
Hailing from Midlands, UK, Luthor originally began DJ’ing drum’n bass and eventually emigrated to more downtempo streams. Not content with spinning other peoples music, Luthor breaks away for a brief extended player with Crackling Claps.
The unusually named “Brick Shit House” contains smudged bass, erratic rumbling complexity and persists with disjointed dance floor approved dubstep without diving off the deep end. “Warm Wax” dips into more chilled layers of warm bass, a dubspace escape that elicits a certain Funckarma charm. Rolling rhythm blasts continue to evolve, breakdown and ebb as textured melodic slivers pierce through the haze. “Minor” shimmies through dusty drones and melodic bubbles until its eventual low-end avalanche comprising of flickering lights takes over. Minhmo’s “Minor” remix is a slow falling fog of crispness that fades into wavy pulses without notice.
Minor is a welcomed snippet of expansive bass lines that break apart, slip away and all come back together into a cohesive unit of dub strained inflections, slippery rhythmic stabs and tangential grooves.
Minor is available on Crackling Claps. [Release page]
