Le Jad – Painful Epic Ep

It's been a while since anything on the Peace Off label really dropped my jaw, but this record does the trick. I like the A-side the best, with the chunky hip hop beats accented with metal guitar samples. The intro lead is nice too and would make this a perfect set starter. I could easily see this one precipitating a moshpit.

The B-side is a more moody number with a vague atmospheric melody that I can't quite place, but I'm pretty sure it was lifted from somewhere. This one's more frantic, with gabber kicks flying in every direction.

This record just begs you to rock doubles. You've got some scratch samples on the A-side that are a nice departure from the played out fare you get on most scratch records. And you get a skipless break on the B-side.

Buy on sight, this is the real deal!
