“Broken SD1 140”: not only a reference to an old drum machine, but also a blatant lie… There is nothing busted about this fresh EP from Breaking Records boss DMX. Here we find him straddling the eons with a timeless blend of rich analogue electronica, classically trained electro and forward-thinking vibage. Highlights include the super-squelch warmth on the bassline of “Apple Grid”, the hard-nosed ghetto techmongering of “Superficial Appearance” and the timely vintage house riffery of “Dramatic Exit”.
