When it comes to freshly skewed and eminently weighty dubstep beats, Innamind Recordings’ reputation as a leading vinyl platform for the sound is growing by the day. The team of artists they have assembled all operate with the same ethos of building raw, highly individual soundsystem music, and no-one represents the creative vision better than the precociously talented Gantz. Undoubtedly one of the most in-demand producers in the scene, Gantz innovates and causes dancefloor ruckus in equal measure; ask any discerning head to cite their favourite producers of the moment and Gantz will be mentioned more often than not. With that said, Innamind Recordings are excited to be releasing another pair of gargantuan riddims from the Turkish badman for their fifth record, due to drop this July on 10” and digital formats. It’s a two-pronged sensory attack featuring the tussling polyrhythms of ‘Lyrical Trick’ and the battle-ready, anarchic dread vibrations of ‘Stayer’, a pair of leftfield club tracks built with Gantz’s unmistakable stamp of ingenuity. The latter builds moodily like a brewing storm, as swarming orchestral tension floods an expansive soundscape, dense with plunging basslines, FX-doused paranoia and percussive minimalism. On ‘Lyrical Trick’, Gantz throws any conventional ideas of drum arrangement out the window and delivers a perplexing but obscenely heavy example of pure sub-frequency rudeness, full of complex syncopations and propulsive energy. Support from all the usual suspects, and absolute ‘system devastation guaranteed.
