Kodek (2) - Digital Dirt EP

Kodek - To Make A Score
An excellent breakbeat with its feet clearly dangling over the side into electro. If you like Skeetaz, SOTEG, and Andy Page then you'll relish this. Big bass with just the right amount of glitchy edits. You'll find no nasty samples of over used and frankly dull funk sounds so rife in a lot of breakbeat that you've heard a million times before. This is breakbeat as I love it and it should be. Broken beats, spinkled liberally with a topping of machine funk.

Kodek - I Know You Know
This is drums, drums being hit. Lord, the bass drop 1 and a half minutes air could stun a horse. Dangerously funky stuff. Add to that a progressive, padded construct to control the chunky broken drums and it's a winner. Swirling synth stabs of sound support the frankly huge build in this track. When she finally drops, phroar, the bassline is back and with vengeance. Flitered glitchy darkfloor action.

Kodek - I Fuck You
Big rolling bass flickers between channels, ghetto jacked 2 step bass that competes with Si Begg on darkfloor wonkability. That ain't a real word, but fuck you. That massive bass just infects your head and your booty shaking ass. Massive dancefloor appeal this. I can't wait to see the skank dance people are going to pull out of the bag for this. And that final section is glitched out heaven.

Kodek - Do You
Sounds like the drummer is sitting next to you. Filtered bass stabs fly all over the massive breakbeat. For extras, we have electro vox and keyed synth work. A winning combination in my ears. There's even a massive festival friendly melody in the middle section

Overall
All 4 tracks are strong. Each has a slightly different direction, but all rock it. Once again Subgrade has delivered a great package. Whilst Subgrade might be regarded as an Electro label, with this release they'll find a lot of fans in the more traditional breakbeat scene. Buy this now. Breakbeat as you, me and every other fucker loves.
