The 12’’ begins with the tale of fear incarnate “Gmork”, the most powerful weapon for controlling society. The A-side is a portrait of this terrifying beast: slinking baselines come from its black heartbeat and white noise grows from its unearthly appetites. Fat, squelching noises emerge as light, hope and ideas are quashed,
ground up and eaten. The sound is viscose, violent and deep seething red. What emerges is a genius slice of dark, brooding techno crafted from the nectar of your darkest nightmare.
The story gets even bleaker with B-side “So The Nothing Grows Stronger”, a narrative of blips, bleeps and squeals. This extreme dub techno track is a mutinous call to arms, the sound of the insurgence. Here beats forge together, fortified by a devastating charge, till the track crunches away into nothingness. It’s a wake-up call, an anthem for the malcontents.
Dadub also masterfully extracts two crafty dj tools provided as digital bonuses. No excuse to not spread the savage stories that you have heard…
