Artist:	WARLOCK
Title:	Full Tilt
Label:	RAG & BONE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TOTTER 010EP

"There's something immediately right about Warlock's readiness to mash together dubstep, old hardcore sensibilities and plain old fashioned bass rinsing. 'Full Tilt' is an irrepressible shocka, samba-dubstep would be our genre for it, if pushed, but actually it doesn't matter when the abandon is as wild as this. Dropping the needle on the record instigates a drop through a liftshaft, the break is punctuated with huge bata style Brazilian drums, whoops of ecstasy inna the dance, ride cymbals for the true steppers and militant New York guerilla drums, all pitched against drizzly ghost town grime stabs. Favela grime may or may not be the next big thing, but Warlock is sure to mash up any hall with this fearsome beast of a tune -- addictive stuff... simply massive overload material, hardcore low end science."

Title:	Just a Face in the Street EP
Label:	RAG & BONE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TOTTER 012EP

"The return of the excellent Warlock : Oil and gak spattered machine rhythms are salvaged from the hardcore scrap-yard and battered into warehouse smashing rudeboy assaults on 'Just a Face In the Street,' raving breaks are spot welded onto the attitude and sound design of Einsturzende Neubauten, with the same ideas utilized on 'Ghost Dog.' 'Cellar Door' drops the tempo to a Saaf London strut down a dark alley of controlled weirdness style electro. Consistently tough tackle from south of the river...Killer!"

Title:	Window Smasher
Label:	RAG & BONE (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	TOTTER 015EP

"The first offering this year from Rag & Bone's very own Warlock. Two of the three tracks explore his unique turbulent breakbeat style that has surfaced on many earlier releases for the label as well as his output on Dirty Needles. 'Window Smasher,' the lead track takes on the essence of late nineties drum & bass in the vein of DJ Die or Krust but reworks it into a breakstep mover. Chopped and filtered breaks combine with a bassline of speaker shaking proportions while an array of sci-fi synths and ghostly FX complete this very full picture. Definitely one for the rewind crew. 'Pistols At Dawn' harnesses several more rattling breaks and retro loops, but heads in an altogether different direction. Nervously switching and jittering from beat to break, 'Pistols At Dawn' is somehow held together by a hammering square wave bass, but you're still rendered unsure of quite what's gonna happen next."
