2010, Big Dada Recordings
VINYL FORMAT. This is a limited edition EP release from Offshore. The title track, "Aneurysm," is the bass tune of the package; put it on any big speaker system and feel your breastplate buzz. But despite its links back to Ewan Robertson's earlier work, it also shows a reliance on melody and detailing which sets it apart from the work of some of his contemporaries. His isn't just music to play in a club. Offshore develops this aesthetic throughout the rest of the EP. "Hiccup" is the melancholic soundtrack to an Eastern European thriller. "UTG" builds from a series of slipping, sliding interludes to an epic electro-orchestral climax. And last track "Round and Round" demonstrates that Robertson's work perhaps owes as much to the moors, mountains and even folk tunes of his home country (Scotland) as it does to hip hop and inner city London, where he now lives.
