This is all decent fun on this 8 tracker, from heavy rollin' gangsta grime vibes with some sinister atmospherics to sleeker R&B elements. What is consistent through out is his beats. What I like in Particular is that occasionally you get a little vocal sample that sounds like some sort of munchkin, maybe that's thee Gremlinz. There's a couple of quite intense real slammers on here too. I like the big chords on the manic 'Menace' tune, like being chased by some bad ass droids. Terry's production really is as tight as it gets in this scene. He even slips a few cheeky amen's and Mentasm sounds into the title track which sound great, updating the old hardcore blueprint via dubstep/ garage. 'Upton Lane' is a superb future grime track and pushes all the right buttons. I'm not sure how well it all really works as an 'album' but it's a wicked selection of tracks for DJ's to play with. Yeah I really did call him Terry... Terry Danjah, I think it has a nice ring to it.
* Terror Danjah’s back on Planet Mu after last year’s 'Gremlinz' compilation reintroduced him to the world at large. Since
then, as well as Planet Mu, he’s released a single on Hyperdub, one on Butterz with more to come.
* Well the Gremlinz are back again on Planet Mu with this punchy 8 track mini-album of experimental grime that
showcases a breadth of new music, that swallows r'n'b and dubstep into Terror's self made matrix.
* The tracks range from the spikey, minimal 'Space Traveller' to synthy beasts like 'Twisted', to the vicious 'Power Grid'
that pits shuffling 2-step drums against a fierce, dark bassline and the occasional firing ravey breakbeat. 'Upton Lane'
contrasts a twinkling synth melody with big kick drums and nervy chords, while 'Horror Story' goes cold and minimal
again with a shivery bassline, slippy slidy drums and spooked out harp chords.
