Grand seigneur of dub, Brendon Moeller, serves up his follow-up to the already delightful Big Thrill release on Connaisseur’s sub-imprint Supérieur earlier this year. With his Big Shot EP, the South-African living in New York drops four massive cuts of deep dub, timeless and full of detroitish and Hardwax’esque references. Moeller’s art of working is highly efficient. It is really impressive how fast he delivers a bunch of brilliant tracks in really short time.
The title track Big Shot comes in two versions, dub and original. The dub features broken, almost dubstep-like beats, sub-basses beyond words and a very spacey atmosphere. The original is a straighter version, more techy but with the same high-level quality timbre.
The Boost is somewhere between house, techno and dub. A bouncy blend with a trippy arrangement: A builder - unexpected and alluring.
Last but not least The Urge is the most abstract tune on this wax. Classical timeless dub techno with dusty and mumbling soundscapes.
