Mutant soundsystem bullets from Naples badboy NPLGNN, coming off like the rude son of early
‘00s breakcore heroes like DJ Scud and DJ/rupture x Ossia x Pan Sonic, on a straight winner with
YOUTH.
Nowadays based in Barcelona, NPLGNN is the lad behind that killer MBE mixtape series and a ruck
of gristly missiles for Reel Torque, Where To Now?, Hypermedium, and the Forever Now label he
runs with Dave Saved. On his Youth debut, he murders the dancehall in two shots of ruthlessly
overdriven, instrumental ragga scuzz, splicing Sleng Teng-style digi bassline with flash-it electro
string stabs and rotor-jawed breakcore snares on the brawling lead ‘Hazy Pit’, then galvanising a
bare boned tresillo bump with a snarling edge of distorted synth like some rogue Ossia x Pan Sonic
jam with ‘Inna Daze’.
No nonsense business. Run it!
