Following the T. Williams EP is Local Action 002 - the debut EP by New York's Svpreme Fiend.

I've been obsessed with Svpreme's music since hitting him up for tunes in January or something - on the surface it's haunted 2step in the vein of Burial, but the more you listen the more you realise there's little else like it - skeletal drums, beautiful melodies, R'n'B and soul vocals bent into twisted, purgatorial shapes. Sketches of tracks that form and dissipate in front of your eyes.

The Killer EP collects 4 of his garage-leaning tracks - future stuff from Svpreme will be weirder, housier, sometimes beatless. But this is the perfect introduction.

Out in July.

Big up Fiend. Good to see him getting a release.

by the way, if anyone fancies giving me a hand embedding soundcloud on dubstepforum it'd be sound of you. not working when i use the embed code.

You just use the url for the page for each track and click the soundcloud button when you post, like when you insert an image.

thanks mate, i waas putting the soundcloud embed code in the tags before. nice one.

Yeah, big up man, good on 'yer.

Ain't checked any of your tunes for a while. seems you've tightened up your sound ever so slightly.

Good to see fiend is getting a much deserved release.

Thank you, everyone, I appreciate the kind words.

BIG UP!!!

Amazing tunes! These sound great man! Looking forward to buying this on vinyl!

art, as ever, by the amazing andy musgrave.

Good to see your soft ass homophobe. garage 2step meditative bullshit finally getting the release it deserves, fagit. :'|

Bump for something everybody should buy.

"You'd think we'd have had enough post-Burial, future Garage tracks by now, but New York's Svpreme Fiend has done something special on his debut release. 'Killer' and 'Downfall' adhere closely to Burial's lost and lonely small hours atmosphere and ticking woodblocks, but blow away all the dust and cobwebs, revealing the UK Garage skeleton at the heart of it. On 'Deluge VIP' the ghosts of Burial take centre stage, whirling around and whispering sweet nothings. 'Fervor' gets tougher, dragging the sound towards Techno with synth string stabs and crisp 909s instead of misty reverbs and tentative rimshots." - Joe Muggs, The Wire
