PEACE001 - PEACE EDITS: Mr. Mitch, Strict Face, Loom & Silk Road Assasins by Gobstopper Records published on 2015-03-03T11:35:18Z PEACE001 - Vinyl Only - Out Now Boomkat: bit.ly/15GVkpp Bleep: bit.ly/1yKHCNK Red-Eye: bit.ly/1zo99Hg In the bustling world of instrumental grime, Mr. Mitch’s ‘Peace Dub’ phenomenon - initially a concept aimed squarely at flipping grime’s ‘war dub’ complex on it’s head - has fast become a reputable sub-genre all of it’s own. With a series of his own peace edits garnering plenty of recognition online over the course of 2014, Mitch has enlisted a trio of new-school producers to assist him in re-contextualising four unconventional classics and with it, christen a new series of peace-themed white label 12”s. Simply titled PEACE001, Mitch is joined by Gobstopper signees Strict Face and Loom, as well as elusive beat-making trio Silk Road Assassins on the label’s first ever physical record - a body of work that takes instrumental grime even further into unchartered territory. Kicking off with the brooding heartache of Mitch’s fuzzy, emotionally charged re-rub of Dru Hill’s ‘How Deep Is Your Love’, there’s also space for Strict Face to turn an icier, washed-out hand to the peace aesthetic on ‘Alice’ - his beautifully mellow, minimalist rework of Alice Deejay classic ‘Better Off Alone’. Latest signee Loom opts to take a deconstructionist route through Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’ as glitchy melodies, ushered reverb and pitched-up vocal loops meet harsh, industrial sampling in unerringly dystopian collision of ideas, whilst Silk Road Assassins sign off with their take on T-Pain’s ‘Im Sprung’. Trickling, iced-out melodies and pitched-down vocals are laid over dark, menacing bass rumbles in a tribute to the sound that has already earmarked the trio as refreshingly slick sound designers. - Tomas Fraser Genre Gobstopper Contains tracks Mr. Mitch - Dru (Peace Edit) by Gobstopper Records published on 2015-02-03T13:09:02Z Strict Face - Alice (Peace Edit) by Gobstopper Records published on 2015-01-27T10:11:04Z Loom - Kate (Peace Edit) by Gobstopper Records published on 2015-03-02T11:03:42Z Silk Road Assassins - T (Peace Edit) by Gobstopper Records published on 2015-03-02T11:03:47Z
