"IF YOU WANT A VISION OF THE FUTURE, IMAGINE CRAP 808 SAMPLES STAMPING ON A HUMAN FACE- FOREVER"
Zomby // †
Another brief glimpse into the fruits of Zomby’s extended absence; its pretty mighty. As per usual with each of Zomby’s reinventions, there’s a tunnel vision at work that sidesteps basically every current trend of the UK bass scene that has nurtured his ascent. And thank God for that. Whilst there’s (obviously) always lots of great dance music coming out of the UK, there’s been an increasing deluge of uninspiring, tepid politeness, descending what should be raw, sonically uncompromising music into indentikit tech house and grooveless, synth pad garage. Unfortunately these conventions are by and large stuck now, solidified by twin banners of embarrassment ”Post-Dubstep” and “Future Garage”. Defining things by their negatives is for suckers, but I am one so who cares; this is everything that that junk isn’t.
