Pangaea

'Bare-bones dubstep of the finest kind is the order of the day on this latest Hessle twelve, with "Coiled" displaying the same kind of metallic sound design and crisp production beloved of the Tectonic label and, in particular, Cyrus. Perfectly balanced between the pads at the lower registers and the squashed snares at the top, its the kind of thing that gets better the louder you play it - without a cheesy sample in sight. "Deviant" on the flip is even better, layered strings building the foundation for a bottom-heavy beast of a track dominated by rolling percussion straddling the more creative end of minimal techno. Brilliant stuff - essential purchase.' - boomkat.com on hes002
