Hand crafted from field recordings, junk percussion and charity shop keyboards, TOP002 sees Scissorwork on wax for the first time. With an uncompromising DIY approach to building tracks and attention to detail, he has distinguished himself from the crowd and gained real momentum since tracks started to appear online in early 2016.
The opening track 'Urges' sets the tone for the EP - a delicately constructed, feel-good thumper, dripping in tape saturation, fuzzy bass notes and off-kilter melodies. 'Sympathy' moves into heavier territory showcasing rusty, rolling bass tones, infectious grooves and a strong dose of nostalgia. 'Walking Home' takes things down a notch. Melancholic chords set to a backdrop of crunchy organic drums and a field recording captured at dusk in the city, that familiar feeling of walking home, still lucid, while the rest of the population is just emerging from their slumber towards the nearest coffee shop. Wrapping things up with help from fellow Bristol migrant Playboy Nolan is a dark, hazy 2-Step joint taking influences from elements of UK bass music, from early 90's to the present day.
