Scout 22- Great Beasts- Great Beasts EP- Dirtbox Recordings- 2023

#️⃣ #dnb #drumnbass #jumpup #liquiddnb #jungle #neurofunk Matt to his friends aka Scout 22 has a musical history that could take you around the sun and back with delves into dubstep, House, techno and of course drum and bass. As no stranger to releasing music on high profile labels, Matt took upon the new moniker of Scout 22 just months before the world shut down for the pandemic, This did not stop him though honing his craft through the time given he released a flurry of tracks across high profile labels such a Program (Ram sub label) Eatbrain, Dispatch and of course his own imprint, Shadownet. This brings us to this monster of an EP and how fitting as the tracks are absolute beasts to boot. we give you “Great Beasts” 1/ Scout 22- “Atomic” Kicking off the show we go balls to the wall and dip our toe into the neurosphere with Atomic Haunting bells and drums rush this one through our tech influenced intro. Reminiscent of classic Raiden/Kemal before landing flat in its back with an atomic bomb vocal skit. and yet more drum builds to a deep dark scanty style neuro stepper. A great beast in its own right and a fantastic open to a hefty EP 2/ Scout 22- “Great Beasts” We land now in the title track of the EP and one thats gone through not only multiple name changes but sounds too before we hit the halt and eject button where we are happy to unleash it to the world. A deep and dark roller for this one taking a complete 180 while still giving thast gripping and signified Scout 22 sound. An awesome rolling percussion set across eerie and haunting synths smothered with a glitched and heavily processed bassline give this heads down vibes for any dance floor. 3/ Scout 22- “Hold The Light” Scout 22 shows some more of his awesome scope as a drum n bass producer taking yet another sound and style in the genre and making it his own. This one leads more into the “Dutty of dutty rollers’’ category and does everything you expect from this genre and more. Classic sounds used to cut through the darkness on this which is massively needed this one is for the dark room and strobe light only crowd. 4/ Scout 22- “The Banished” Leading the pack on this one, The Banished certainly stands head and shoulders out on this release with its originality and depth seeking missile of a bassline. Crunch, crunch, crunch, and no that’s not cereal being slammed down your gullet at breakfast, Its the kick from this monster crushing your eardrums. 5/ Scout 22- “The Heavy” We close up the EP with a familiar sound. `The Heavy` gets its encore after making an exclusive appearance earlier this year on the Best of 2022 album and rightly so as Scout 22 closes out the year in style. A crazy arrangement and a real bass face creator if there ever was one within a drum n bass track. A super eclectic sound leaning heavily into heavily distorted amens and a thundering collage of bass sounds. A behemoth thats had some huge support in recent months from the big boys in drum and bass. Great Beasts EP is out exclusively on Beatport & Spotify 20th November and everywhere else 4th December. @DirtboxRecordings Please dont forget to like and comment and most importantly share the show. ✅ Previous mixes 📘 📘 ✅ Website 📘 📘 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ SEND A DEMO TO DIRTBOX ☎️ Contact us via email info @ ✅ FOLLOW ON SOCIALS 🟪 Follow us on Facebook 🟪 Follow us on Instagram 🟪 Follow us on Soundcloud 🟪 Follow us on Twitter ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ MORE MUSIC TO HEAR NEXT 🆙 Scout 22- Banished 🟪 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ SUBSCRIBE 📹 Subscribe to the Channel @dirtboxrecordings?sub_confirmation=1
