Premiere: Mugwump – Breakdown (Smagghe & Cross Version)
The weekend pleasures were taking their toll. Just 24 hours earlier the freaks and the masks were party to my own narcotic exuberance. The hours had shifted since, and so had my own grip on the calendar. Cats and cold comfort were greedily grasped into my belly as I sighed hard to shift the black cloud. It sweated heavy over East London, and then the knocking began.
KNOCK/KNOCK/CHAP/CHAP/RING/RING/KNOCK/KNOCK/CHAP/CHAP/RING/RING.
KNOCK. KNOCK. TRICK. TREAT.
Utterly bent and disturbing in unequal measures, Messrs Smagghe and Cross take Mugwump’s Factory paean and provide a new beat. Mangled with anxious bass, reverse white noise, sub earth oscillations and Stuka riffs, it’s the perfect thing to open the door to small kids with this week. That’ll learn ‘em.
Mugwump – Metempsycho EP is released by Subfield on 4th November 2016 and can be found HERE.
