CORAL D レコード& CD

Review: The Mysticisms label welcomes Coral D aka Duncan Stump for a debut outing here that marks the first new music to be part of the ongoing and most excellent Dubplate series. This artist has a long history of crafting "deep dub electronic swing" in his roles in Mock & Toof, FX Mchm and his 6000 Degrees project. This one finds him bringing some dub reggae influences as 'Dissolves' is built on a chugging rhythm with smeared chords. 'DR 55' is then a masterfully laidback digi-dub groove that warps space and time and so leaves you utterly hypnotised.

Review: The classy Sued label invites a trio of producers to take us on a balmy cosmic and ambient-laced house trip here with this beautifully pure and innocent new EP. PST is the anchor on each track and first up he works with Coral & SVN on the sub-aquatic deep house funk of 'Tryptmix'. He goes it alone on 'The Memories' which is all incidental melodies and deep space neon colours, and again on 'Frisbee Man' which is jumbled downtempo and acid jazz styled house before re-uniting with SVN for the cuddly, scuffed up and warm house depths of 'Version Two.'
