Edski Calypski

• Words: Tomas
• Label: Spoilt Rotten
• XLR8R Rating: /10

Somewhere in between all the grime, breakstep and experimental dub lies that original party blueprint for 2-step garage, an infectious blend of sub-bass-saturated sped-up house beats that popped champagne bottles around the globe for a few years. It's four/four tracks like Edski's that recall the novel vibe of the genre's dawning, with his ragga-influenced steppy rhythms, a swinging house groove and even acid- synths to spice it up. Like an Oakland Raiders throwback jersey-we want more music like this.
