Djrum steps out onto Samurai Red Seal after a string of excellent singles on Second Drop. The eagerly awaited 'Plantain' on the A-side opens with orchestral strings and intoxicating vocals before dropping into a whirlwind of distorted kicks and razor sharp amens. Rolling along at a versatile 120 bpm the arrangement switches up throughout the 8 minute run time, opening up vast expanses of weightlessness before dropping into lush Rhodes chords and triplet hats - ace.
The flip 'What I Was Doing When I Was Doing What I Was Doing' is a crunchy half-step riddim, laced with micro edits and haunting vocal samples, fans of Skeptical and recent Exit releases - apply within.
