Quiet Killaz "Warning / Critical Level"

Having first cut their teeth in the dnb scene as Pulse and Tango but have quickly made a name for themselves in the breaks scene, thanks in part to their remix of ´Rumbleweed´ by Albino Allstars on MOB Records. Now they deliver two original productions for Distinctive´s 4000AD project entitled ´Warning´ and ´Critical Level´.

Eerie atmospheric sounds that could easily have been taken from any b-movie you care to name lead us into a dark void where the sinister ´Warning´ sample only adds to the mood. A rippling b-line that would rock the smoke filled Room 2 at Fabric, adding to the claustraphobic feeling, slowly edges it´s way in. Congo percussion fights against the dark beat arrangements, building to another vocal reprise before the track opens up and fires on all cylinders for a bone crunching climax. Scared yet? You should be..

´Critical Level´ picks up straight where ´Warning´ left off, poundning your mind with full on breakbeat loop that rattles and flips as the fluctuating b-line spins things around on their axis. Things drop into a bouncing groove as tension building chords pepper the soundscape, almost like a scene in a thriller where you wonder what is due to happen next, as synths slide from left to right and suddenly it´s back into the twisted beats once more.

This record should come with a health warning, as when put to the right use, has the potential to turn you into a quivvering wreck in the corner of the dancefloor. Watch out for more 4000AD action from Christian J soon.
