RECOMMENDED: BD1982 – ‘CASINGS’ EP (DISKOTOPIA)

BD1982 - Casings EP (Diskotopia)

Next up to the plate for Diskotopia is label co-owner BD9182, a longstanding LS favourite and one of the most underrated producers out there. This week he has dropped his new eight-track ‘Casings’ EP, which is one of the most inventive releases you will hear all year and his most compelling yet.

Harnessing elements of dancehall, dub, grime, hip hop and techno amongst a melange of other sonic refractions, ‘Casings’ both references where he is coming from and creates something unique, fresh and forward thinking. Across the eight tracks that feature on the EP he is able to play on these touchstones without replicating them, deconstructing his influences and crafting something new and unmistakably his own.

Essential.
