Hospital RecordsÕ Whiney is ready to cause disorder, serving up his second drum & bass serving of the three-part ÔBubblersÕ series: ÔBubblers Part TwoÕ. With expectations soaring after his sickening introductory release, ÔPart TwoÕ lives up to the promise as he continues to mould, develop and expand his slick signature sound. Deep, dark and bubbly, Whiney goes in hard with all four killer tracks on the EP. Watch out for the lyrical chaos from former Pendulum MC, Ben Verse, and regular soundsystem-shaker, Parly B, too.
Whiney plunges us into the ÔDeep EndÕ with track one. WeÕre surrounded by a mist of eerie ambience, then, as militant drums build, Ben Verse leads the way as his unflinching lyrical flow lights the way to WhineyÕs bouncy bassline business. Descending low-end frequencies shatter the underground as we channel deeper until weÕre briefly struck by an aurora of sacred strings before being spat back out into an earth-rattling dystopian world..
Next weÕre ÔCaught UpÕ. Woozy air raid siren-like pads unsettle the soul before weÕre forced to accept our fate: ÔEverybody ring the alarm!Õ. Whiney showcases his ability to detonate blood-curdling bassline patterns, destined to crumble ceilings in one crunch.
ÔOld FlameÕ moves into lighter territories, conjuring up a hazy daydream that bubbles along with mind-bending swagger. Vocal snippets dart in and out of consciousness with soothing sub hits and spiralling wobbles.
Whiney rolls out in style with ÔRoll OutÕ. With fire-starting lyrical flow from mic-controller Parly B, whoÕs featured on soundsystem-stoppers with the likes of MungoÕs HiFi and GentlemanÕs Dub Club, itÕs tearout jungle-rhythm has been especially cooked up with reggae-tinged guitar plucks over a tidal wave of screwface-inducing rumbles, squelches and snaps.
With an impressive back catalogue, including two albums, ÔTalismanÕ and ÔWaystoneÕ released on the recently closed Med School imprint, and now two game-changing solo releases on Hospital, thereÕs no denying that Whiney will keep pushing boundaries. This manÕs heading for the top. ÔBubblers Part ThreeÕ...letÕs go!
