Sam Cosmic - Smic / Soukah - H2O [WobWob 007]

Scheduled for release on January 26th, 2k25 via the Hamburg-based WobWob camp is their next highly limited - and hot pink... - split 7" release which marks the addition of two new artists to the labels ever growing roster. On the info side we see Sam Cosmic cooking up "Smic", a tune which oozes a dark'ish, clean, nocturnal and hyperurban vibe which, in parts, takes veterans of the scene back to the atmospheres built and conceived by DJ Distance on his seminal 2007 debut "My Demons" whilst Soukah's "H2O" brings forth a denser, earth- and dancefloor-shaking peaktime approach, almost drowning Dubstep floors in intense, ever meandering sawtooth basslines atop sparse halftime beats accompanied by a beloved and well familiar vocal snippet which has been used and abused in many iterations of whatever 'bass music' existed at the time and therefore became a staple in soundsystem culture over the course of three or more decades. Good stuff.
