Dekoy VS EP Part 1

Cadillac Crash is all about Jon Cooke revving up and gnashing away with a breaks boom that can be heard from blocks away. On a drag strip that makes the vox sounds like a wimpy Sunday driver, The Slips original poppy vocal gets turned into encouragement for a motorway prang (Daily Mail readers will be desperate for vengeance). Dekoy’s super-strength Caddy rumbles like a real deal ride reeking of a fresh pimping. A bunch of synths squeal like brakes floored at the last minute while trying to stay in the beat’s rear view mirror, and the breakdown is one of those pull-back then floor it moments that love to destroy the ‘floor second time around. Bang-on.

Bob Hopeless goes line for line with Apply The Breaks’ Rob Focuz, going digi-gutter with a slapping twist of Freq Nasty-fied bass that groans and grunts like a good’un over cuffing beats, before screwing upwards as synths catapult the other way. Slam dancing is very necessary with this one; again, the bass is not relying on being intricate, being a simple finger-tapping loop to get everyone fired up and red in the face. Take your pocket Oxford off the shelf, look up ‘no-nonsense’ and find Cooke looking back atcha.
