ABOUT THIS ITEM

A double-pack release is a rite of passage for Tempa artists. Here TRG presents a milestone outing twice over; not only his maiden Tempa double-twelve but also a showcase of his shift in production style, which now has more in common with branches of house than traditional dubstep. "Twilight Riddim", carved into the ‘A’ plate, is a UK funky samba-house riddim which forces you to jack your body in surrender to the shuffling drum loop. Screaming out to be let loose at 3am, it comes complete with raw and unforgiving crescendo to defibrillate the dancefloor. Energy changes form with "Diskotek ‘79" as TRG stays in the same arena but comes via a more soulful passage. Squelching chords and synth lines marry with rolling percussion to create swing and groove whilst female chorus vocals and revolving arpeggio combine to add a tingling high which runs the length of the spine. Advance copies of just these two cuts are already being battered around the world by DJs including Sinden, MJ Cole, Zinc, Zed Bias, Freq Nasty, Rob Da Bank, Tayo, Coldcut, Laurent Garnier, Mary Anne Hobbs and Modeselektor. The versatility of TRG's work is further highlighted by "Siberian Poker", a wicked drum-heavy future-beat banger, the peak-time techno driver "Purple Lights", Detroitian stepper "Since Last Night" and "Strobe Lick", a luscious, warm sub-bass roller. Here you’ll find parts of Berlin, Croydon, Detroit and of course Bucharest. Quality underground music with no fixed abode. ESSENTIAL!
