Oddkut’s Nightmare EP sees Moscow’s UNITED label return to the bass focussed sound that has so popularised them. The EP opens with ‘Dead Place,’ a resonant track that echoes from drop to drop. Its unmistakeable machine like bass gives the track a very industrial feel.
This industrial theme continues into ‘Nightmare,’ the second track of the EP, which sees Oddkut slow the tempo to 120, but continue to maintain the bass heavy sound.
Astute Oddkut fans will notice ‘The Rotten’ to be the long awaited release of the instrumental for Oddkut’s ‘Rate Us’ Remix. Even without Killa P’s iconic vocal, the track is weighty, and demonstrates Oddkut’s enduring ability to produce hits at 140.
The final track of the EP sees Oddkut collaborate with MSTKS in what is set to be a future classic. Bells chime, mixed to perfection in the background as Oddkut’s exceptional sound design shows its prominence in a swirling, all encompassing bass sound.
