After his last release gained massive support from dubstep’s most discerning and influential selectors including, Mala, Skream and Youngsta; SP:MC follows up the hugely successful ‘Trust Nobody’ with his latest Tempa release, ‘Taiko Dub’ / ‘Bad Dreams’. For the A side, ‘Taiko Dub’, SP:MC looks toward the land of the rising sun for inspiration. Taiko are a type of hollow Japanese drum, struck with hard-wood sticks called Bachi. Imagine, if you will, a form of Japanese kettle drum, only these drums have skins on both ends which gives them a particular resonance when struck. The ingredients for ‘Taiko Dub’ are few, and SP:MC’s spatial awareness allows him to afford the track a meditative quality, and in turn ascend the listener to a plane of clarity. His sparing use of sub-bass at once accentuates the Taiko rhythm and adds a contemporary & western reference point, which is in keeping with the originally designed intentions of this folk instrument, an instrument first endorsed (in its proto form) by the Buddhist people. ‘Bad Dreams’ features on the AA side and its title suggests feelings of doom and dread, feelings which can be triggered within the human psyche by enduring low frequencies. SP:MC, alongside Joker D, submerges ‘Bad Dreams’ with multiple layers of bass which creep around the 70bpm flipside at varying pitch. Listening to ‘Bad Dreams’ seeks out long forgotten fears buried in the recesses of your mind and preys on them. Be warned, to play this record is to open your own Pandoras Box. A refreshingly intelligent and effective approach to Dubstep at halfpace, this completes SP:MC’s second outing on Tempa.
