Geiom & Appleblim have a collaborative effort out on Berkane Sol. 'Shreds' on the first side captures the current dubstep/techno zeitgeist in full flow, a well measured dub break & lovely spaced synths mingling with some glitchy first-rate brooding dub, a beautiful spacious production oozing class & total assured quality. The flip 'Flame Tree' is a catchy slice of house tinged dubstep-ey fun, packed with an atmospheric bounce, giddy little synth strokes, a skippety breakbeat, some quality dub delay & a melodic, gliding bassline that pins the quality production together neatly. Both sides are loaded with both men's distinctive hallmarks and the whole clear vinyl package feels like something a little special. One of the more involving, lovingly crafted releases to come from this ever fertile scene

Limited Edition Clear Vinyl Pressing in Clear PVC Sleeve. A pair of tasty collabos, rich with Appleblim & Geiom’s ideas and oozing their respective styles. Shreds opens with metallic timestretched pads and tappy hats, dropping into a revivalist piano stab that locks in over a tough 808 break and dubby bassline. A nice build leads into the killer second drop, solid sub layers beneath an uplifting chord progression as the synth lines open out. ‘Flame Tree’ treads the post-garage path, faintly acidic synth patterns wound over hand-carved beats.
