Deliver Us From Evil - Detroit's Filthiest (Bass Agenda)

 


Title: Deliver Us From Evil

Artist: Detroit's Filthiest 

Label: Bass Agenda

Cat Number: BA108

Genre: Electro


A1: Programmed To Kill

A2: Dark Shadows

B1: Critical Condition

B2: Scared 2 Death


‘Programmed To Kill’ is bookended by “This is the future” being intoned, as if we didn’t already know that. However, in the spirit of going backwards in order to go forwards we’re flung into the twilight realm of bootylicious funk and sub tropical syncopation. This is an already familiar landscape, further mapped throughout this release and to more insistent effect on ‘Dark Shadows’,which emits sonic silhouettes along its terminal timeline. ‘Critical Condition’ is the standout track for me, striking the right balance between disorientation and derangement, and also containing a sample that sounds like a faulty mic, always a winner. ‘Scared To Death’ is a “don’t look over your shoulder or you’ll shit yourself” soundscape. All of this is uncompromisingly great fun, which is as it should be.
