System2's new Ghetto Loop EP is out NOW
What a hectic summer it’s been for
System2 boys Tez Hurst and Danny Hevingham. Not content with being signed to
Steve Lawler’s legendary VIVa management agency and adopting a punishing tour
schedule that’s taken them across the UK & Europe, they’ve also find time
to churn out a veritable onslaught of killer EPs. Taking a look at the size of
the tracklist in their latest effort, the ‘Ghetto Loop’ EP, you really do begin
to wonder how they find the time to fit it all in…
Title track ‘Ghetto Loop’ sets the
tone nicely for the EP, a peak-time jacking beast with pounding basslines and
menacing siren wails. ‘Matic’ is on a similar tip, but with a more hypnotic,
laid back slant, its subtle melodic breakdown collapses into a whirlpool of
delayed vocal FX. In ‘Ready’, an addictive rhythmic drum groove sits over an
assembly of bleeps, vocal chops, and a subtly pulsing sub.
The swung garage shuffle of ‘Mine’ is
complemented by a huge swelling bass undertow, likely to put the sturdiest of
soundsystems to the test. ‘Shady’, with its warm muted chords and glistening
strings is an expertly crafted nod to the classic Chicago house sound which
manages to avoid veering into the direction of pastiche. Rounding off this wonderfully
versatile EP is ‘Ghost Train’, a cheeky Detroit-esque curveball with a throbbing
low-end pulse and atmospheric, delay-drenched vocals orbiting in-and-out.
