Untold – Sweat / Dante

Finish copies. So then, another month, another stupidly good Hotflush record – how do they do it? Mutating swamp-garage master Untold tones things down a bit for Scuba’s label, and first up is ‘Sweat’ – rolling 2-step breaks that reek of classic Wookie, sticky chocolate bass and intricate synth trickery that interlocks with the delayed topline and dazzling edits. ‘Dante’ sounds a touch more vintage, with tappy drums, pounding bass pressure, and insistent Rhodes stabs beneath a chiming claxon echo.
