Kick-starting MethLab Recordings’ minimalist future funk BNKR series, Allied rises to the top with his dark and apocalyptic vibes and conjures up a vision of a sinister space journey gone awry.
No stranger to the neurofunk heads out there, Allied once again brings his inimitable vision to the forefront as he expertly slips through the space-time continuum with his monster 4-track Obscurity EP. The cinematic future-funk framework is quickly established by the title cut as the stepping beats float above a haunting atmosphere that’s sure to have those heads spinning. Elsewhere, tracks like “Godspeed” and “Grey Matter” hold their own as the elements rise and fall in a machine-like groove.
With a chest-squeezing bassline holding you tight and rolling beats keeping the tension high, the shivering “Centaurus” brings it all home with a high-energy neuro-blast for the heads looking to break out on the dancefloor.
This one hits February 5 via MethLab so queue up and lock yours in now.
