So Mad Decent are making shoes now? I don’t know if I speak for all of the Truants, but these are not to my taste. That Mumdance fella, on the other hand, he’s delivering the goods. Champion of global bass, his latest Mad Decent EP came out just this week and if there’s one track I’m absolutely loving, it’s Smasher. It’s another one of those onomatopoeic-type tracks that sounds like its title, like, let’s say Azari & III‘s The Worker. That is to say, it smashes things. It’s simple enough, with a delightful cascading melody over a slamming UK ghetto-type beat. I’ve honestly listened to it four times in a row just writing this post and it’s only getting better.  He takes that infectious riff and speeds it up and swooshes it around before smashing back in with one of those grinding treble synth riffs, only to kill everything off again, swoosh it around, and change key and smash even harder. Listening to this, all I can say is that winter isn’t looking so glum right now. He’s also done a cover of Wookie’s Battle lately, and hey, it takes balls to take a track as iconic as that and remake it in your own image. But I guess he’s not your average random 26-year-old.  Get in son.
