NOTES
Slugabed makes his solo Ninja Tune debut with his most impressively organised release
to date. Folding in factors from warped VHS music, lazer-guided R&B and destabilized
UK Bass, he's clearly on a proper orbital trajectory with the 'Moonbeam Rider' EP.
His sound has become increasingly cleaner since the 'Ultra-Heated' EP on Planet Mu
and successive remixes for the likes of Eprom, Starkey and Eskmo, managing to
stealthily control the chaos without compromising his off-key agenda. That title
track is a beaut, diffusing chromed-out R&B and dynamic in some 3D geometric cy
ber-space, while 'Heck Flea' morphs from lushest VHS theme to tranced-out chords and
neck-snap beats with kaleidoscopic arrangement. 'Tomorrow Morning' is probably the
most diverse and unconventional cut in Sluga's armoury, setting up a crystalline
intro space before flipping the pressure with hydraulic House bass and flickering
2-step syncopation, followed by a Hud Mo-like flirtation with vintage late '80s R&B
on 'Nu Krak Swing'. Impressive.
