massive fresh tunes for all dub steppers out there

>drop the other<, the first e.p. from emika ? and already making a late shout for one of the years most auspicious debuts. even before release, emika?s has received airplay from tastemaking djs like zane lowe + mary-anne hobbs. on >drop the other<, eerie, near-classical piano collides into glitched-out edits and skitering drum patterns, while speaker-shattering lows rub against emikas own hushed, cryptic vocals, the iconoclastic blend marking her an artist that makes a habit of defying expectation. just when you think you know what you are hearing, emika flips the script: the cinematic sound architecture evokes the deepest techno, but the tempo moves too slow, the beats too jagged, the sub-bass, meanwhile, could shudder the most underground dubstep club, but its paired with haunting, syncopated vocal hooks that suggest aaliyahs work with timbaland taken to its darkest extreme.

with a serious gear-shift up in the tempo from the original, d*minds give prime cuts >warning< their drum and bass treatment. creating an expectant build-up from the start, you know that when the trigger goes >click<, the dancefloor will be heaving. with rolling drums to keep the people stepping, its no surprise to see this tune getting lots of coverage both in clubs and on radio, supporters have included andy c, chase & status, kissy sell out, annie mac, grooverider and rob da bank as well as the remix featuring on frictions recent >assassins< compilation. when eddie ks remix sets in, youd be forgiven for thinking that he will be pushing a more relaxed tip. but as soon as the bass enters the equation, its a different story - chest-rattling bass, and synths streaming overhead.
