Following an impressive debut release for Critical’s talent brewing sub-label Binary in 2024, SMG steps up in uncompromising mood, with the three-track ‘Cloaked’ EP.
The title track draws you in with the eeriest of atmospherics before collapsing into a sharp, stepping groove that swoons and stretches from the despicably rough to the satisfyingly smooth.
‘Suku’ brings the cinematics – melding mystical, dreamy moods and foreboding spoken-word samples with a silky sub-bassline that gently twists and growls its way through endless sonic textures.
‘Halogator’ takes things harder, with SMG linking with fellow Critical producer Waeys to close the EP with a punishing crunch, taking things nasty with a snarling, bickering bassline and splashing drums.
