COY 018EP
|
OH91, having released his debut record with Coyote, Stealth (COY 005EP, 2013), returns to the label with Shuttle. Honing in on a day-dot instrumental grime sound favored by MCs, OH91's work on "Shuttle" is sharp and brutally effective; sirens form the basis of the short intro, as a booming, looping beat -- boosted by tense, anxious strings -- slingshots the track straight into the dance. Dutch producer JLSXND7RS, fresh from producing a number of tracks for Wiley on latest album, The Godfather (2017), throws down a fierce, contorted remix full of warped sounds and eerie, sci-fi bleeps.

COY 005EP
|
There's a restless groundswell of producers making some seriously rowdy grime beats down in Bristol in 2013, and the dank, claustrophobic club nights and tight-knit community of heads battling dub for dub has seen a crop of unruly riddims. One of the rudest soundboys of the lot goes by the name of OH91, and he brings that unabashed, soundsystem duppying, backhand-you-in-the-face toughness on his tracks. Coyote Records are hyped to welcome him to the crew as he drops heat with the peak-time gullyness of "Stealth," backed with remix fire from Slew Dem don and legendary selector, Spooky. Built around brash synth-lines, huge piston-pressurized drums and subs that hit hard and low, "Stealth" is grime built for the rave. Spooky's version agitates the rhythms with phrases of rolling two-step skanks, and treats the snyths with raw, acid-like corrosion, blasting you head-on with the same full sonic spectrum and levels of energy as his electrifying DJ sets.
