[TDDR056] SwankOut - Get Dark EP [Available To Download Now From All Top Drawer Digital Stockists!!!]



1/ Feelin' Ghetto.
2/ Get Moody.
3/ Listen Bass.
4/ Mobeus.
5/ Ultimate Bad Boy.

Taking a departure from the usual jungle and drum & bass that I tend to review, it's time for some soulful, bassline house and low down and dirty breaks from Top Drawer Digital's SwankOut, who presents his brand new five track strong 'Get Dark EP.

Opening to the smooth introduction of 'Feelin' Ghetto', which drops a series of sophisticated synth stabs and pounding four-to-the-floor house beats, before laying down massive, rubber-band bass throbs and euphoric, high-pitched diva vocals. 
Things get a little bit more serious on the dark breaks and bass driven 'Get Moody', where intricately programmed  breakbeats do battle with a low, growling bassline and a scattering of female, countdown vocals.

The oldskool themed 'Listen Bass' kicks off with a scattering of classic rave vocal samples and a combination of rugged, 125bpm 'Think' breaks overlaid with steady kickdrum thumps to create a prefect fusion of classic and modern styles. We are next taken deep into the darkside, with 'Mobeus', where menacing, sci-fi atmospherics and moody bass pulses are met with tension filled, heart-monitor bleeps and crisp, shuffling breaks.

The EP draws to a close with an all-out, homage to the glory dayz of oldskool hardcore on the MC Mad P sampling 'Ultimate Bad Boy', with it's heady combination of rolling, drum-breaks, uplifting stab melodies and intense, dark bassline. 
The 'Get Dark EP' sees SwankOut draw inspiration from electronic music's rich and varied past and expertly craft those elements into a potent fusion of breakbeat-house bombs. Get on these pronto!!!
