TEMPA 075EP
|
MC-turned-producer extraordinaire SP:MC has announced his most expansive release to date, the four-track Declassified EP. Sci-fi signifiers are everywhere here, making for a dark and dystopian listen: the title-track and "Launch Code" meld chrome-plated percussion and spacecraft engine roar to rhythmic sub-bass, and "Air Lock" matches its name, its gaseous hiss and lurching percussion evoking sensations of being plunged into zero-gravity. The package is rounded off with "Kenshin," a fearsome collaboration with dubstep figurehead Youngsta.

TEMPA 045EP
|
After gaining massive support from dubstep's most discerning and influential selectors Mala, Skream and Youngsta, SP:MC presents Taiko Dub/Bad Dreams. Taiko are a type of hollow Japanese drum, struck with hardwood sticks called bachi, and as a result, the track has a meditative quality, taking the listener to a place of clarity. "Bad Dreams" was crafted alongside Joker D, who submerged the track in multiple layers of bass at varying pitches, seeking out long-forgotten, repressed fears.

TEMPA 034EP
|
2013 repress. Tempa are proud to present the debut release from SP:MC, a respected drum n' bass MC known for his spacious half-time flows and intelligent lyrics. "Trust Nobody" is a subtle and deep half-stepper featuring spoken word dialogue, leading up to one of the deepest drops ever. "Future" goes even further into spacey, dubbed-out halfstep, while still remaining crisp and interesting. Two perfect examples of truly cutting edge beats. Support from Skream, Benga, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson and N-Type.
