Exodus

"After the resounding success of the Innamind Recordings debut vinyl release back in July, they come correct once again as Catacombs steps into the fray with two high tensile halfstep missiles, featuring a collaboration with Manchester’s Knowledge on ‘Exodus’, and ‘Organism’ on the flip. Their tough and uncompromising beats have been regularly cropping up in the sets of every major heavy-hitter from Biome to the Anti-Social crew to N-Type, and mid-November will finally see two of their most serious productions to date released on IMRV002 across both vinyl and digital formats. Catacombs and Knowledge combine production skillsets on ‘Exodus’ and bring pure, unadulterated dreadnought-styled bass pressure. Deftly crafted drum patterns set the scene, and lead into haunting wails of distant Eastern melody and a chilling vocal sample before the drop hits like a sonic depth charge, driven by imperious sub-frequency engineering and twisted snarls of probing mid-range. ‘Organism’ features Catacombs on a solo tip, with the Midlands based beatsmith building pensive, moody aesthetics that bristle with malevolence. Dense walls of low-end swell restlessly beneath darting sweeps of mechanised synths, super crisp snare cracks and patters of neatly applied bongos; lethal moves to round off another killer Innamind 10”.
