Drum’n’bass stronghold End.user resurfaces with two years after he joined HANDS with the much-praised “Enter to Exit” album.
This 7 track EP further refines said albums agenda of putting amens and breaks into a context of atmosphere and emotion – mood music, but also upfront tunes peering at the dance floors. Immersive and melancholic is the backdrop of “Resurface”, with the stabs kicking off the good half hour release proper, and “A Bell in Hell” manages to increase the suspense by using a simple hook. “A familiar Face” makes a distant ethno reference, before the 2methyl-collaboration “Rotation” cranks it up with somersault kicks. “Red Line” combines an eerie slasher hook with firm crossbreed kick drums, before “State of Process” and “Cracked Mirror” – a collab with newcomer TrashEater – explore the more “core” aspects of break. One cannot fail to notice that End.User brings a remarkable dexterity and passion to his music, so let’s just be thankful for his resurfacing!
Released Early November 2018 by Hands Productions.
