Ninth instalment of Redscale. Grad_u with a masterpiece of dub techno. Vinyl only.
“Holdback”, an unexpected twist of events for followers of Redscale, is actually a bold step
forward in terms of pace and light. The enticing chords work like a magnet, and the potential of
the lady on the mic is no lower than that one of a siren. The personal weapons of grad_u, the
most powerful of which are the embracing loops, are of course out there, indicating the
producer’s inner spirit and roots.
Picking up where “Holdback” left off, “Outwards from Laniakea” is a statement more rugged,
yet as absolute as the message on side A. It’s an invitation to put that jacket back to the
cloakroom, switch off that phone and let yourself go, again and again. It’s, once again, a
compelling statement against conformity.
