Bristol native Daffy returns to Shall Not Fade with his second solo EP, focusing on the darker aspects of 4×4 garage.
The title track typifies Daffy’s unique and forward-thinking take on UKG. The dynamic chant of a dancehall MC is ramped up to invigorate a UKG stomper, the product: a rude, flavoursome track which evokes Spooky and Riko Dan’s “High Power”. Serious. The aptly-named “Darker Days” is more reminiscent of El-B with cool-toned low end growls before “Take It Easy” and “Warped” bring things to an energetic close with a stomping 4×4 rhythm and warped bassline which nod to old school speed garage.
