Tripmastaz returns to Adam’s Bite late July with a new EP entitled ‘Def Murky’, comprising four original cuts from the prolific producer. ‘WeRdaHouse’ opens the project, laying down snaking subs, skippy drums, bubbling arpeggio lines and gritty stab sequences all dynamically evolving throughout. ‘Don’t U Kno’ follows next and reduces things down to swaying dub chords, jazzy keys, low slung drums and choppy bass stabs.
‘Gluten Morgen’ opens the flip side, a loop-led groove fuelled by organic percussion, squelchy 303 licks, frenzied, delayed keys and mind-bending spoken word chants. Title track ‘Def Murky’ then concludes the EP, diving deep into oscillating synth tones, modulating percussion, crisp drums and a warped, afterhours aesthetic.

Leading the EP is ‘GFK’s Dream’, a stripped-down, raw excursion through bumpy drums, twitchy resonant synth
melodies and pulsating sub bass tones alongside dreamy chords and spoken word vocals. ‘Paranoic
Paranormal’ follows next, reducing things further to crisp, swinging percussion, spiralling dub echoes and
hypnotic textural components to create an immersive, loop-led, tool like jam.
On the flip-side, title-track ‘Tortured Soul’ shifts gears towards a darker, more techno centric aesthetic,
employing squelchy 303 licks and classic dub techno stabs with a shuffled rhythm section and murky bass
flutters. ‘Gully Sunday’ then concludes the release, a subtly unfurling seven and a half minutes of saturated
drums, bouncy bass stabs, mesmeric, subtly nuanced chime melodies and oscillating synth fills.
