Mothboy - Yield EP Review and Mix Download

22nd December 2010

With his latest release, the Yield EP, dropping on Drawn Recordings in January 2011, Mothboy has given us a mix download and preview of his upcoming EP.

Mothboy is a fairly elusive artist; while he has been making music for some time now we still don't know an awful lot about him. His most famous works have been released through German electronic imprint Ad Noiseam, where he has unleashed three albums and two 12” singles that have enabled him to carve out a pretty unique place in the world of bass heavy electronic music. His finely honed production skills have also graced labels such as Some Bizzare, Acroplane and disco_r.dance. Mothboy's work has also earned him a clutch of high profile remixes for artists as varied as Enduser, Starkey and 65daysofstatic, and past critical acclaim has come from ex-Radio 1 queen of Dubstep, Mary Ann Hobbs.

This latest release from Mothboy, the Yield EP, incorporates all the hallmarks of this innovative London producer - heavy bass exploration, intricate rhythms, dance floor grooves, beautiful vocals, delicate textural touches, and the unique jazzy feel that permeates his sound. Yield comprises three choice cuts, influenced by everything from UK garage to house and techno.

The opener on the EP, 'Maximse Yer Yields', begins with a beautifully melodic build before dropping into a dark bassline and haunting vocal. The track has deeper garage feel but defintely takes on elements of techno and some of the features from dubstep sounds by the likes of Mala and co. The second track, 'Medusa', features vocalist Sarah Sylvan who delivers a superb performance in putting an interesting twist on this slice of dubstep. With a rolling bassline, stabbing chords, and elegant vocal, it is defintely going to sound big in the club. Finally we get 'Others' which heads back down the garage and techno path, it's a deep and dark yet delicate track with top quality production and a forward thinking style.
