Essentials: “purge” — ell!psis

Experimental hip-hop producer ell!psis’ latest stand-alone single is an exercise in restraint. While the Chicago-based composer’s debut EP archon was a left-of-center, trap-heavy body of work, “purge” pivots stylistically, though not entirely. Trap remains as the undercurrent, while distorted subtle melodies and textures build into a resounding release, landing upon a carefully-crafted soundscape of percussive… [continued]
Essentials: Cave EP – Spor

On the Cave EP, British-born DJ Spor gifts us four tracks of hard-hitting, spine-tingling drum & bass.

Essentials: “Throw Down Let Go” – Spor

Following a two-year hiatus and forays into both Feed Me and a newly revived Seventh Stitch, the multifaceted Jon Gooch returns to the alias that launched his rise to prominence, with a blistering new single on mau5trap. “Throw Down Let Go” is textbook Spor. Crushing amen breaks, a snare that punches through the mix like… [continued]
