Untold - Dante/ Sweat 12"



Untold's Dante/Sweat 12" is out now on HotFlush and let me tell you, this is some next level groove. Is this dubstep, funky, minimal dub? Who knows, all I can say is that Dante is straight up BIG. The inter locking syncopated drums are indebted to Martyn and keep the tune moving while smaller nuances of heavy low rang bass and bright rim shots keep it interesting.

My biggest complaint about dubstep and funky tunes is that they go on for 2 - 3 minutes too long. While all the musical ideas could be presented in a concise manner in 3:30 mins they run to 5 1/2 to 6 mins. This doesn't hold true to this tune though, Dante clocks in at 5:12 but still manages to add new sounds and textures to engage through the duration.

If only more producers were influenced by Martyn instead of Skream, the scene would be a better place.

For fans of : 2562, Martyn, Hessle Audio


Expect this on the new Donovan Sharp mixtape. COMMING SOON!
