Girl Unit - Wut

Earlier this year, Girl Unit dropped his debut ‘IRL’ EP on Night Slugs, introducing to the world his unique style of futuristic, 808-driven club trax. Now after months of anticipation, comes his mammoth follow-up in the form of the intergalactic smash hit ‘Wut’ - a digital masterpiece steeped in glorious, organic euphoria. Where ‘IRL’ was an excursion into ghetto house, the half-time ‘Wut’ is draws heavily on Girl Unit's Southern rap influences. Its booming low-slung kicks, monumental claps and 808 triplets might feel familiar, but the track's rapturous organs and vocal hook raise it to levels unparalleled, leading to uncontrollable dancefloor jubilation. The rest of the EP follows in a suitably crunked-out style while exploring different moods. ‘Every Time’ is a massive, triumphant, dramatically orchestral arrangement, which sees Girl Unit adopt his hovering synths to play epic horns, brooding organs, strings and even a honky-tonk piano. The result is crushingly heavy and just as emotional. The EP closes with "Showstoppa", which utilises fewer elements than the others but hits just as hard.
