Rebel Spirit vinyl

It's four years since Dub Phizix brought his brand of mutant, bass-heavy dancefloor experimentalism to Exit Recordings. Happily, Rebel Spirit sees the label-hopping producer at the top of his game, delivering four distinctive tracks that look far and wide for inspiration. He begins with "Hack", where post-punk era guitar motifs, industrial textures and buzzing electronics wrap themselves around surging sub-bass and snappy, post-dubstep beats, before unleashing to drunken UK funky melody lines, dystopian beats and off kilter rhythms of "Rebel Spirit". Flip for the pitched-down UK funky-meets-Afro-bass heaviness of "(Right I'm Gonna Get Shredded This Weekend So Let Me Eat Some) Spinach" and spacey D&B stepper "Subway Swingers".
