S.P.Y has been prolific of late returning to the vanguard of the drum & bass circuit with his ÔAlone In The DarkÕ trilogy. HeÕs a man-turned-machine, firing out bass weapons from his Bristolian treasurecave of synths throughout 2017 all leading up to the final chapter, EP:3.
Opening track ÔTransmissionÕ is ready to cause disorder. Turning vocal hums into premium merkage with a deadly cocktail of percussion and electrostatic bassline that prove to be all the ingredients required for the ultimate floorfiller.
ÔDominator Mode' is a primal tech-stepper, bringing classically rugged drum & bass stylings well and truly into the contemporary realm. Rustic and tribal with a distorted vocal sample sitting top, manufactures a truly dystopian audio atmosphere.
We all dare to dream but S.P.Y appears to bring these feint fantasies into reality. Reaching for his alter-ego classic liquid movements, the pertinently named ÔDreamingÕ pictures a cosmic landscape with astral synths, a majestic key-lead hook, distant vocals and wistful melodies.
Now it wouldnÕt be a S.P.Y release without that signature grit. Fear not, this is delivered in ÔHardcore HarryÕ. Latin chic breaks are met by jagged sounds and the warmest of sub licks - this anthem is a wall-to-wall banger. Equally, thereÕs the full flux of ÔLockdownÕ with sci-fi bleeps and wired rhythms that follow an up front lyrical injection before the climactic drop.
They say threeÕs a crowd but they couldnÕt be more wrong with S.P.Y seeing his ÔAlone In The DarkÕ trilogy off this October and ending on a high.
