The first offering this year from Rag & Bone’s very own Warlock. Two of the three tracks explore his unique turbulent breakbeat style that has surfaced on many earlier releases for the label as well as his output on Dirty Needles. Window Smasher, the lead track takes on the essence of late nineties drum & bass in the vein of DJ Die or Krust but reworks it into a breakstep mover. Chopped and filtered breaks combine with a bassline of speaker shaking proportions while an array of sci-fi synths and ghostly FX complete this very full picture. Definitely one for the rewind crew. Pistols At Dawn harnesses several more rattling breaks and retro loops, but heads in an altogether different direction. Nervously switching and jittering from beat to break, ‘Pistols At Dawn’ is somehow held together by a hammering square wave bass, but you’re still rendered unsure of quite what’s gonna happen next. Stand Alone quite rightly takes the space of the B2 track and bears witness to the developing side of Warlock’s more halfstep output. A deep alternative dubstep number that sways with the half time rhythm and adds to the mix some gritty vintage analogue noise plus some cut-up arpeggiated rumblings that make for a track that blurs the boundaries even further.
