Bleep

New York beatmaker Gut Nose coughs up a fresh batch of gritty hip-hop / house hybrids on fresh EP Escape The Matrix coming via usual outpost Styles Upon Styles. The producers trademark grot is evident from the off, kicking off with the low-lung, filter-washed ‘Moon Lasers’, followed by the tough, granular drive of ‘Drifting Into Parts Unknown’ which pushes everything into the red. Next up, ‘Ten 18’ lets the drum breaks roll, leading into the scratchy, degraded disco loops of ‘Enjoy Thy Flesh’ and finally closing up shop with another grubby hip-hop instrumental dredged right up from the gutters in ‘Crafty Gambit’.
