Vellum continues to flex his halftime badassery and cheeky escapades with this mammoth six-track EP on Slug Wife, sweeping up features from Gravity & MYTHM.

The title track (reinforced by Gravity) is capable of rivalling the head-splitting ruthlessness of ‘Moody Good’. Gravity’s menacing triplet flow is the perfect introduction before Vellum takes the reins and steers the track into an abrasive heavyweight. There’s something about solid grooves erratically disrupted by gritty vocal chops that just deliver that non-stop head bop treatment. This certainly sets the tone for the EP, so belt yourself in.

MYTHM braces the following collaboration ‘Acid Mouth’ which dials back the tempo to hit that sluggish Dubstep sweet spot. A lethal concoction of swung out beats laced with that repeating 90’s acid hoover synth, this is a perfect counterpoint that displays Vellum’s consistent ability to get you swaying your arms back and forth like a bad-bwoy.

If you’re getting comfortable and laid back after the first three solid swagger sessions then 'Brix' - an obnoxiously hyper footwork masterpiece - is sure to jolt you back into action. Certainly, my favourite from the EP as it remedies the lack of dopamine intake needed to keep my mind from wandering unpredictably. Hearing Vellum explore these wilder and more accelerated rhythms will have you frantically scattering your limbs in every direction and be leaving you with a rattled brain cage. This truly is high octane debauchery.

If there’s not already a party in your pants by now, then you've just been invited to one, only it’s a Bristol squat after rave and Zapp & Roger have shown up with their talkbox to do a set on Ketamine. I mean that in the best possible way when describing ‘Dick Funk’ as it’s got all the qualities of a classic wonky Glitch Hop track, but with a grimier flavour. You can really hear his earlier Jayglo roots shining through in this one, another personal favourite as Neurohop starts to resurface after years of hibernation.

Vellum wraps up with 'Brukem', another contorted halftime beast that is truly defining his venture after deviating from his typical neuro house hybrid style. It’s been incredible to follow Vellum on this multi-genre adventure, and we wait for bated breath to see where he goes next. Just make sure you listen all the way until the end of each track as Vellum neatly ties the genius of Marvin II together with a repeating theme that will leave your parents questioning your music taste even further.

Cop the EP now from the Slug Wife family and be sure to show your support for the mad man Vellum!
