DjRum EP Part 1
DjRum

A main player behind the seminal Yardcore nights in London and with previous releases with On the Edge and Smokin Sessions, DjRUM has always existed on the alternative edge of a number of scenes, but after producing a stunning remix of LV and Message To Bears ft Zaki Ibrahim "Explode" for 2nd Drop's last release, his talent is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Now 2nd Drop are proud to present a full EP of original material. The DjRum EP will be released in two parts. EP Part 1: Undercoat leads the first part in typical DjRUM style; multiple layers of gravelly, heavily charged atmosphere, ever shifting beat patterns, murky pockets of drums and percussion and his trademark use of epic strings. This moody cut builds and builds throughout and before you know it the beats have jumped from half step into sultry techno. Mountains pt 1 on the flip picks up from where Undercoat left off, dropping straight into pulsing techno drums that gallop away and build into sheets of shifting emotive synths, accompanied with haunting vocals snippets. Packed with detail and nuance, this track keep on giving with every listen. The illustrator on this release is the incredibly talented Matt Taylor from Brighton. We instantly fell in love with his furry and feathery skulls, and had to have them spinning around on a record. Check more of his work at www.matttaylor.co.uk
