Industry Part 1 & 2 vinyl

The mystery that surrounds Shifted, erm, shifts up a gear with the introduction of another alias in the form of Pacific Blue, with a debut release on the imprint of the same name offering up two clacking wall shaking excursions. The A Side is reminiscent in its bucking rhythmic intent to the recent and vastly under rated "Piper" from Sir Shake Shakir, though proceedings here are on a much more heads down vibe. The cavernous chord stabs accrue devilish intent as the track progresses whilst layer upon layer of pounding drums are intricately melded with rasping 808s. On the flip, Part 2 operates on a more guttural level, implementing similar bucking drums and chord splurges but on a downward trajectory. Pressed on clear blue vinyl and accompanied by a screen printed insert, this comes highly recommended.
