"Gold Tooth Grin" is one of those tracks that has been kicking around in
mixes and podcasts for at least a year, a highly anticipated slice of
post-dubstep soul. There is a manufactured IDM quality to the drums, even
though they roll and skitter like a Timbaland classic, perhaps revealing an
inspiration for this track's looping boom-bap. Even though the song has
little in the way of progression, the main melody is so catchy it instantly
sticks in the ear and takes root. On it's own it doesn't quite have the same
impact it does in a mix where it has a chance to stand out. It's laid back
style belies the intensity of the EP's other two tracks. Middle track
"Robogrime" is an ultra-tweaked number, its LFO dial twisted and turned with
such ferocity it sounds like rapid-fire lasers doing battle. This track and
closer "Strike First" have the same kind of triple time programming as "Gold
Tooth Grin" but exhibit a more in-your-face assault on the knobs. Where the
title track's synthetic melodies created a friendly, retro-pop sound, the
other two tracks seem more aimed at grime-leaning wobble hybrids. Whether or
not this is Taz's intended route, the producer clearly has a razor-sharp
talent on the boards with an ear for melody and sub-rattling beats.
