Light Speed EP

Bristol-based producer Drone finally makes his bow for Coyote Records with the release of new four-track EP, `Light Speed'. A regular at Coyote's Bristol parties over the course of 2016 and 2017 and inspired by the clinical, freeze-dried grime of label contemporaries like Last Japan, as well as Sector 7 bosses Boofy and Lemzly Dale, Drone has probed, honed and developed his sound to marry the raw impact of his early beats with detailed, widescreen scope. There are nods to the soundsystem culture of his new home city of Bristol on the coarse textures and booming, dubby low-end of `Narroways' for example, while title-track `Light Speed' captures the icy, shimmering Coyote sound aesthetic in full view. B-side tracks `Probiscus' and `Fangz' continue this theme apace, bleeding into one another like patchwork to showcase a grime sound moulded by the club, but finessed away from it.
