Gob (single)

VINYL FORMAT. Dels returns with the final single before the launch of his debut album, the track from which his long player takes its name, "Gob." With music from production wunderkind Kwes; like a cross between Nine Inch Nails, TV on the Radio, and Massive Attack, it's a standout moment for British rap and a bold statement of intent. Appropriately, the lead remix for the project comes from David Andrew Sitek himself. "Super passionate" about the song, the producer spent over two weeks in and out of the studio perfecting his mix, a combination of classic era boom-bap drums, melodic catchiness and trademark audio atmospherics. Untold, on the other hand, tools his remix much more for the dancefloor, cutting into Dels' vocals to produce a slowburner very much in the mold of his recent Stereo Freeze EP for R&S. The third and final mix comes from a newer name, Ry9n, whose brittle "Hot Breath" dancehall rhythm has already been getting early plays on Rinse FM.
