On the latest treat from CloZee‘s label, Odyzey Music, jordnmoody‘s FØRSAKEN EP brings listeners a taste of sultry basslines and rolling drumbeats that are perfect for October’s Halloween aesthetic. A familiar face to FUXWITHIT who’s made waves in the freeform bass scene with releases on Wakaan, Cyclops Recordings, Bassrush, Jadū Dala, and others, jordnmoody has once again hit the jackpot with this malevolent masterpiece.
“It’s a madness, I been trappin’, I seen action,” Pete English’s voice echoes on the first track. A devilish tune rooted in UK dubstep, ‘ACT!ØN’ fills the room with a sinister air. A slight synth wobble, pervasive underneath Pete English’s voice throughout, is at once both sensual and spine-chilling. The slow swing of the percussion in ‘DREAMSCAPE’ is like a wade through sonic murk, interspersed with an angelic vocal gently resonating through the background haze. The namesake track of the EP then comes out swinging with a wave of phantasmagorical sub-bass. The absolute frisson of ‘FØRSAKEN’ will leave your ears quivering with pleasure. As an extra-special treat, jordnmoody has graced the EP with a downtempo VIP of his bass-house banger ‘VOICES.’ An eerie, nightmarish, haze veils the slowed-down final track. This is proper Halloween music.
October isn’t over yet, which means there’s still time to get spooky. Keep the skeleton decorations out and grab a fistful of your favorite candy. Don’t forsake the opportunity and go give this EP the attention it deserves.
