Markee Ledge presents Underground Railroad, an evocative mid-set 125 bpm shuffler. The title track features vocal snippets from Malcolm X, and the works of prominent anti-slavery campaigner William Lloyd Garrison. On the flip, "Mad" takes an altogether more tech feel - an ever-evolving stereo soundscape of scrapes, bleeps and rushes is anchored by constant bassline pressure, and the syncopated woodblock hits. The EP finishes with the higher energy and more raucous "Dream'" - underpinned by the same bassline pressure as "Mad", the swung hats are the perfect counterpoint to the almost four-to-the-floor tension of the previous two tracks.
