Fog/Shrine: – Flame 1 [VINYL]

The Bug goes head to head with Burial for two bass-bin heaters. Following on from The Bug’s sidewinding 12’s for Ninja Tune and a colossal album recorded with Earth, ‘Fog/Shrine’ is possibly Kevin Martin’s most soundsystem decimating collaboration yet, joining forces with the most elusive figure within the UK underground and Hyperdub mainstay, Burial. ‘Fog’ rolls along at half-speed steppers tempo, submerged deep within the roots ‘n’ future aesthetic of The Bug’s signature beats, yet perfectly balanced by Burial’s hollowed out and haunted night vision. ‘Shrine’ delves deeper inwards with the beats slowed to a crawl, the bassline hanging heavy in an atmosphere thick with smoke.
