Following his first ep for Accidental Jnr in the summer Bambooman is now back with something entirely different. The downtempo experimental designs of the Feel EP give way to his latest offering Shudder . Available on 12 and digital the 4 tracks of Shudder weave through a club music tapestry like a chainsaw through custard. The opening and title track is hard to describe, a mix of off kilter synth stabs and hammering snare that routes you to the floor - it s one of those tracks to whip out of your bag to remind the crowd they have no idea what is coming next. Track 2 Grasp with a blissful Detroit groove under deep rich melting chords is a perfect blend of early funk house style and super crisp new production. Side B opens with M1 a lazy floor track with washes of bells, static and detuned synth above a bed of solid kick and shuffling bass. Finally Kyrian closes proceedings, another club friendly slice (despite being in a 7/8 time signature), the track could have led the EP in its own right but feels like the perfect bookend with its shifting almost garage like 2-step feel and glancing vocal hook. Bambooman wields refined live recordings, warm exquisite melodies and a silvery vocal into the track s rich musical fabric. It s hard to suppress the emotions with this one - Boiler Room on Feel EP
