Sleep D - Greasy Beats & Blobs Vol 1

The Butter Sessions bad boys Sleep D are back on the case with some limber rump shakers for the CockTail D'Amore crew. On this 12" the Melbourne-based duo lead in with the low-blowing breaks-y workout 'Phantom', before the chunky, boxed-out house pressure of 'Airbags' takes hold. On the flip, there's a diversion towards more ambient techno territory on 'Screw Driver' and 'Young Street' ditches the beats altogether for a lurid, unnerving kind of closer with molasses thick pads and distorted voices to unnerve the chill-out room posse. With a grainy finish to the production and attitude to spare, the Sleep D lads know exactly how to make their tracks land with a necessary panache - a cut above the rest and no doubt about it.
