Rinse FM badboy Shox goes in for the kill on his latest outing for the always quality Trouble & Bass label. “Drone” is a perfect example of his style, which sits somewhere between UK funky, bass and 2-step; a rigid percussive pattern is engulfed by one mean flurry of low-end and a whole load of glitchy synth oddities, providing a killer for the dancefloor and headphones. The Sister remix is straighter, more to the point and backed by a broodingly gnarly repetition of kickdrums. Lastly, it’s fair to say that “Pickup” is the housiest of the lot, where a stumbling 4/4 pattern is surrounded by sparse melodies and a 90s-inspired bassline. Boom!
