Demo of the Week
Dead Silence Syndicate
IN the wake of the Mike Skinner phenonmenon, there’s a bit more of a taste for white boys rapping in a Mockney style.
So enter the Dead Silence Syndicate and their three-track EP that attempts to bring up-to-date the kind of live drum ’n’ bass that Reprazent made their stock-in-trade in the ’90s.
Card Shark has bouncyness similar to the Professionals’ excellent Flava for Rava, but gets a bit tinny in places.
Exploit, sounding partly like a junglised Tainted Love, is hard-going and too serious by half. There’s no hook at all and no irony. All the talk of “wild stallions” and what could be a cowbell low in the mix is just irritating.
Mind Over Matter with its deep, quick basslines is the Syndicate’s most danceable track and so frantic there’s almost a layer of techno on top.
Not bad jungle in places but these raver boys could do with a world-class MC to stir things up. |
