Following Rat Heart's »Dancin' In The Streets«, Tom Boogizm returns with a new EP for DDS, a buckshot blast of bashment, bleary soul, sawn-off R&G, and rap blatz.

For this one Tom draws a jagged line in the sand between his wounded troubadour sound as Rat Heart and the raggo club styles he built a mean reputation on, largely thru the DIY club sessions that bore his name and which carried through to his Shotta raves and tapes over the last decade. He fires five cuts that sound like tracks twysted in the blend, looped and diced, cut with the cruddy mercurial tekkerz that have become his calling card over the decade since Micky Von Dutch issued »I Can’t Sleep Because My Mind Won’t Switch Off« on tape with Ono.

It comes booling for SND-style bashment with the grimy, reverse-whipped bass and melodic dancehall motifs of »G A F 425«, and harks to his earliest tackle in the spare soul air of »Lawyer Up (Dubstrumental)«, whilst registering a centrepiece highlight in the discordant, pranging R&G of »2 MCR«. Perhaps closest to his murky art is the squashed rap scuzz of »Young Bleed«, hacking up and screwing a gob of toffee-and-coal-mouthed muck, beside the spattered, pitching noise blatz of »Milli Up«, reeling back to styles heard on his essential vinyl debut, »Posh People Make Me Ill«. As scuzzed, loose-limbed, and essential as they come.
