Track Of The Day: Lyeform - Glass Eater (Sneaker Social Club)

 

‘Glass Eater’ is the track that opens Z@p’s Mudd Show mix in the previous post. Sneaker Social Club have been churning out dark, gritty break beat aligned fare for a number of years now. Often veering into full-blooded drum and bass. However, I think the label is at it’s best when it showcases sounds like this. There are strong dubby overtones slowed down to a speed and pitch that makes it feel like you could only dance to this while being covered in treacle wading through waist-high mud. While the rest of the world flies by, time feels strangely delayed while listening to this and gives the impression that while the world moves in one way the listener is caught in reverse. King Tubby being relayed through a geiger counter.
