Every Wednesday, Sardi lets us know what’s tickling his eardrums in the world of electronic music…
Machinedrum’s latest single ‘Eyesdontlie’ is a stark and minimal take on the Drumstep sound and is a precursor of what we can expect when he unleashes his new LP Vapor City next month on the seminal Ninja Tune imprint.
Featuring a thumping fusion of kick drum accentuated sub bass hits and half time breaks, ‘Eyesdontlie’ hits hard and carries a distinctly eerie tone throughout with use of pitch shifted vocals and haunting atmospherics. There’s even a nod to mid nineties Jungle with fluffy piano pads making an appearance in the mid section.
Hopefully the rest of the album is of the same caliber as I can’t seem to move past this song. It’s firmly on repeat.
If you like what you hear, be sure to tune in to RTRFM’s Full Frequency between 3pm & 5pm, as Sardi and Dart explore the latest beats & bass from around the globe.
