A fresh collaboration Lunice and Scottish eccentric Hudson Mohawke, TNGHT might just
be a match made in heaven. This debut EP explores the duoÆs fascination with the
current crop of electrically charged rap doing the rounds at the moment, and somehow
manages to do it far more authentically than you might think. From the outside it
might seem like musical tourism, but the two capture the starkness and claustrophobia
inherent in some of the genreÆs biggest crossover hits and inject a healthy dose of
their own personality to twist things up just a little bit. You might have noticed EP
highlight æBuggÆnÆ on XVÆs smoked-out æPopular CultureÆ mixtape, and the instrumental
stands just as tall as its rap-laced counterpart. Elsewhere the duo give a sly nod to
classic hardcore production tics on æHigher GroundÆ, offsetting a grubby sampled
vocal with the kind of bombastic brass youÆd more likely expect to have slammed in
your gob on a Ruff Ryders comp than on a Warp EP. Well timed and with enough low-end
to sink a luxury yacht, TNGHT show you donÆt need to come from Atlanta or Houston to
hit where it hurts. Killer!
