Skifcha - Dazey EP

fromtheslums62So Skifcha has dropped an EP ^__^ and I'm sure all of the head-bangers out there are probably pretty hype (time for a Docta Philth Retwerk perhaps?). Mostly this is due to the simple fact that like most Skifcha work, this shit hits fuckin' hard as shit; pounding bass drums that test the limits of your headphones; twisted and contorted synth lines that make you question your sanity, all the things that you would probably expect from a Skifcha package of late.

But when we take in this release as whole we begin to get the idea that this isn't some "run-of-the-mill" dubstep album; it's the display of evolution for a producer whose trying to throw off the shackles of his previous work. This kid seems hell-bent on not trying to pigeon-hole himself into any one genre, everything from tackling mid-tempo beats to straight-up polling his facebook page as to what type of production he should tackle next (which, if I recall correctly, ended up with some very odd skifcha-esque dutch house). So, "experimental" is probably what I'd say most about these tracks, for yes, they still have the same build-up/drop outline but within this framework this kid is really trying to fight and struggle against the limits of what his mind can think up.
