Tes La Rok kicks off the year for his Noppa label with a versatile four track EP from up & coming producer Desto. >Wizard Of Wor< discharges concentrated SID-chip energy and mutant rhythm syncopations with ruthless sub-bass and a side order of pixelated gangster vibes. >Gremlinz< ventures into the realm of 8-bit monsters fusing hiphop and grime aesthetics with chippy Commodore 64 bleeps and analogue synths for a definite dancefloor weapon. On the flipside, >Dark Matter< creeps in with techy stabs, dubstep rhythmics and ice cold atmospheres. To top it off, the much-anticipated >Cold (refix)< delves into the dark and atmospheric side of future garage before unleashing lush melodies from the frozen streets of Helsinki. DJ support from Jamie Vexd, Blackdown, Joker, Oneman, Headhunter, Rossi B & Luca, Nick Argon and more
Blackdown : “Absolute Noppa!”
Joker : “2 words – Goon Music.”
Headhunter : “This one been a mainstay in my sets for months now, Noppa providing the usual sickness!”
Nick Argon : “Clean gloves hide dirty hands and Desto’s are dirtier than most.”
Rossi B : “probably the first EP I’ve listened to the whole way through in at least a year” [noppa005_feed from sth]
