New Earwax Promo

It's been a while now since Clue Kid released his debut
single here on 'Earwax - 'Halogen' and 'Down & Dirty' (2006). We are very
pleased to have him back on wax, demonstrating his progressions as he's has
mastered his art.

The lead track 'Chicken Foot' is a one for the clever stepper who likes his
wobble to be little more deadly and refined in delivery. It's a banger
alright but one with plenty of restraint and fine style. Opening pads chime
a deadly warning before the wonky bassline thumps in, heavily grooved and
heavily weighted. Sporadic conga riffs cut through on point, adding to the
momentum generated by the no-compromise bassline. Hold out for the 2nd drop
as it twists a new way round!

Flip then for the equally deadly but more stripped down 'Shifty'. Perhaps
not the most appropriate title ever conceived but a fine piece of heavy
artillery nonetheless. Taking a 2005 Loefah sound (and supported by him for
this very reason) and redefining it in a Clue Kid style. Excellent quality
rhythm and bass music with a dark and unforgiving edge.
