King Midas Sound - Goodbye Girl (Kuedo Mix) / Earth A Kill Ya (Mala Mix)

Hiya bassheads, Midas is back with a silky little cut for you. On the first side we've got a Kuedo mix of Goodbye Girl. Spacey pounding drums clatter and pound ominously over a heavy dubstep bass wibble while some wistful shimmering vocals poke up out of the wreckage, as all the while a cloud of synthetic angels hover above making stoned out synth drones that slide around somewhat unpredictably and give the piece a real sensuous and living feel. Emotional and chilled dubstep that falls between the leftfield grime clatter of Sarantis and the womb-like dreaminess of Balam Acab. Most excellent. On the other side Mala has mixed Earth A Kill Ya. This starts out super-minimal with little bursts of sub bass and ghostly echoing vocals before a skeletal beat comes in as sinister and discordant synth drones can be heard in the distance. This one's a total downbeat industrial nightmare of a track, with a speaking male voice adding to the sinister vibes. Certainly doesn't have the immediacy of the A side, more of a cinematic late-night slow burner. Both interesting tracks, though!
