Sometimes onomatopoeia is the only way to describe how good a sound really is. This is one of those times where ‘oof’ is the optimum descriptor for a slab of audio; in this case courtesy of Timedance boss, Batu, and rejigged by PAN Records specialist, Lee Gamble.

Monolith EP sees Batu returning to his own stomping ground after recently ushering in gems for Livity Sound and Mistry. “Reez” — which arrives this March 11 on vinyl and digitally a week later — is numero two on the four-tracker; a downtempo slogger characterised by its dubwise nature.

But it’s track number four that we’re most blown away by. Lee Gamble deconstructs the original and plants it in the eye of a hazy storm; still contagiously propulsive, yet cloudier and murkier in timbre. Did we say oof already?
