I’m as partial to the pattering of tiny minimal feet and avant electronic squalls as the next person but once in a while it’s refreshing to encounter a no-holds-barred tech-house juggernaut with huge, pumping basslines, roof-raising drops and evil jacking groove-power. Superbleep been started by veteran London club-runner Vaughan, who should know what’s required for messy, early hours carnage and, working with prolific producer Calverton, has ejaculated a quartet of truly nasty floor-burners. ‘Latch’ sets up a crunchy groove which is typical of the EP’s focussing on slamming power rather than speed. It’s lashed with a succession of syrup-removing computer game flurries and robo-farts. ‘Cokehead’ is low-slung, pebbledashed with sci-fi effects and booms with the EP’s most bowel-quaking bassline. ‘Superpimp’ is stripped-down, springier and blessed with a massive drop of syrup-levitating proportions. ‘The Trick’ is the set’s cleverest manipulation of dancefloor chaos; another lethal groove over which the action ebbs and flows with devastating consequences. A seriously incendiary debut for this label.
