VMRDT131 - ASEITY - RED SERPENT EP Release date: 29th May 2020
ASEITY makes a welcome return to VIRAL-MENTAL RECORDS and brings with him a quartet of upfront, drum & bass anthems with the release of the ‘RED SERPENT EP’.
The tone of the EP is set by ‘Death Wobble’, an ominous slice of stripped back D&B composed of skeletal, 2-step breaks, razor sharp synth riffs and rumbling basslines. Title track ‘Red Serpent’ drops a filthy, twisted mid-range stab pattern over a series of relentless crisp breaks and rumbling sub bass to devastating effect. The menace dripping ‘Stay’ expertly utilises authentic oldskool flavas and layers them alongside a barrage of rolling amens, rugged Apache breaks and stepping 2-step beats. Rounding off the collection we have ‘The Apple’ which lures you in with it’s orchestral intro before delivering a punishing combo of tear-out breaks, growling bass and ominous vocal snippets. If it’s uncompromising, dance-floor driven drum & bass that you seek, then ASEITY and VIRAL-MENTAL RECORDS more than deliver with this must-have release.
