Planet03 EP vinyl

Following Double O's dangerous triptych last month, AKO Beatz return with more fine flavours courtesy of Birmingham's Headgear. Back-to-roots business throughout, "Planet03" is all about the transitions as we glide between vibes as different synth tones suck us deeper and deeper into a darker jungle tunnel. "Dem Deh" is a much more murked affair with rusty breaks rattling and chopping and a paranoid chord sequence wavering beneath. "Reach Out" closes with the roughest workout of all as spatial FX and textures tease and trip out before caustic breaks fire into the mix with no warning whatsoever. Blood will be shed - he's not called Headgear for nothing.
