A sonic clash of tropical, On-U and eastern proportions, t-woc drops six tracks of dope sound system bashment for Strangelove. Informed by Mick's musical wanderlust and prolific digging, Pantangle deftly blends a mélange of influences where Caribbean steel drum, Anatolian melodies and the sounds of the Maghreb all float through the mix. Like his work for Macadam Mambo or Emotional Response, it's a sound hard to pin down and all woven into a heady brew percolating somewhere in the dancefloor twilight zone. With early works created pre-lockdown at an artist residency in The Dock in County Leitrim, the heads down groove of "Crazy Bronco" and "Goddy" don't sound out of place with an early '90s UK bass culture. Elsewhere the deeper cuts rub against a little sunshine as the late-night swing of "Midnight Magic" riffs off Junior Delgado's roots classic. With killer artwork courtesy of Marius Houschyar, Strangelove release this collection of outernational rhythms from the Irish vinyl wallah, mix engineer, and producer.
