So in October last year Granholme finally became a reality with the release of Graphic's Wiping The Eye EP. As the first release on a
label no one had heard of it was both humbling (people were actually willing to listen) and reassuring (after being obsessed with the
tracks from early on) to see the support from a bunch of people. A large and sincere thank you for that. You might have spotted the
shift in sound of the last track, a well received remix by Zoltan that was later given away on XLR8R.com (& is now on our soundcloud
page). We're finally ready to release GHM-002, a 3 track Zoltan EP with Graphics returning the favour with an extra promo only remix.
It's a change in tone from our first release flying it's floor filling ambitions with pride, and for that we are thankful.
'Pluton' opens the EP with a relentless crack and percussive chatter quickly joined by diva glitches and gyroscope bass stirring,
before said low end rotations and hi hats resolve themselves into motorik syncopation, periodically cooling down before bursting
back into life.
Flipside 'When I'm' further ups the raver uniting stakes with crunching ST-esque kicks & snares and chiming vocals building into
plunging breakdowns, all sucked down by a heaving space where the low end should be. Digi-only track 'You Don't' brings the EP to
a close with a further refinement of 'Pluton's helicopter bass, adding hammering acid flecked psychosis to the party. There's also a
vaguely recognizable vocal buried in there that might have kept the track from vinyl inclusion, but we wouldn't know about that.
Finally there's Graphics aforementioned rework of 'When I'm', due to be released as a free promo download in the coming month.
More in tune with the post-rave dawn crawl home, Graphics slashes the tempo while the vocal is twisted into an unintelligible taunt
and isolated kicks & stomach cramp synths coalesce into a uniquely dead eyed shuffle.
Confirmed DJ & Radio support so far from; Jackmaster (Numbers / Rinse), Scratcha (HyperDub / Rinse), Roska (Rinse), Shox (Rinse),
xxxy (Orca/TenThousandYen), Presk (Ten Thousand Yen / AudioCulture - used 'When I'm' on his Fact mix just before Xmas).
