Hi5Ghost “Nook Shot (Commodo Remix)”
After a string of sell-out releases, Bristol badman(s), Boofy and Lemzly Dale, reignite the coals on their Sector7Sounds label with a new slab of wax.
Tenacious sino-grime is the name of the game once more, this time courtesy of Bandulu’s Hi5Ghost and “Nook Shot”. The original is all glottal bass growls, Oriental flute/pan pipe embellishment and Eski drum jabs; all warring for ascendency on what is a stark, yet hard-hitting 140bpm dub. Commodo‘s facelift is similarly Far East-facing, but has more of a hood mentality; murkier and sprinkled with Riko Dan-esque, spitfire Jamaican vocal blurts. Both are equally Debuts-worthy, but its the latter that rattles the chest a little harder.
Strictly vinyl business, and only 500 hand-stamped ones at that. Be sure to keep the eyes peeled for a release date.
