‘Get Down’ arrives simultaneously with ‘Nature Isn’t Mute’; a deluxe extend- ed edition of ‘Man Is Deaf’, the producers debut album praised by Dazed & Confused and De:Bug and nominated for Album of the Year at the DJ Mag awards. ‘Nature Isn’t Mute’ completes the Terence McKenna quote the album was named after and contains 7 additional tracks.

On ‘Get Down’ Michael Wright shows he hasn’t lost any of that Brassica mag- ic with a heady 6 minute workout. As the track sprawls and unfurls, various elements come in and out of play——hinting at the foundations of the Brassica sound——with Wright guiding the listener along for a joyous ride. The single is backed by a remix of album track ‘Tears I Can Afford’ courtesy of Belfast duo Bicep who embrace the occasion fully by extending the original to 8 min- utes and playing with its acid elements in ne fashion.

Happier in the shadows than under the glare of projectors, Brassica continues to refine a unique sound and approach that has made him a favourite of your favourites.[info from ud]
