'Negative' is the result of some focused research, a blend of halfstep-swung snares and powerfully driven but subtly clean sub-bass with expertly manipulated dub chords carefully eschewing the formulaic pitfalls of operators we won't care to mention.
However, the solid-gold is saved for the flipside on 'Speak', finding a glowing sweet spot at the centre of Basic Channel indebted dub-techno, Artwork-styled 2-step rhythm alchemy and the sort of lonely post-Garage-soul he shares with Burial or Peverelist.
A sound that's been informed by time well spent in clubs studying the physical impact of tracks, hence the attention to detail and resultant tension of flexible bounce with a heavy heads-down effect that many attempt to nail, but fail to execute.
