Scratcha DVA - producer, DJ and host of Rinse FM's flagship Breakfast Show – readies his third 12” for Hyperdub; two incredible songs that showcase some of the breadth of his talent from his forthcoming Hyperdub debut album 'Pretty Ugly'. 'Madness' is a softly emotional yet vital and original take on R’n’B, featuring the vocal talents of heavyweight Philadelphia-born singer Vikter Duplaix, who pens verses of despairing pleading to a would-be lover. Scratcha's gentle production backs this melodrama with a barrage of loose, sloppy drum sounds and a chorus line of sympathetic synths that sound like robots impersonating human singing. On the memorable chorus, Stevie Wonder-like bent synths chords coo and enfold Duplaix' weary summary of the situation. The added instrumental version gives the listener the chance to hear this chorus line in full. ‘Polyphonic Dreams' is an intense dancefloor ride, it’s mix of hard kicks and intense atmosphere with washes of colourful analogue fuzz and a nervous Drexciyan polyphonic arpeggiation modulating aggressively through the track out-techno-ing the most techno of producers, but adding the essential flexing rhythm that only someone with a background producing grime and funky can bring. These are must-have tracks that will win over new Scratcha DVA fans and leave listeners salivating for his debut album. A1. Madness (ft Vikter Duplaix) A2. Madness [Instrumental] AA. Polyphonic Dreams
