Iglew - Light Armour - [Vinyl]

Cult UK producer Iglew returns with his highly anticipated sophomore record after a six year hiatus, finding a perfect home on Facta and K-LONE�s label, Wisdom Teeth. Iglew first burst through during the instrumental grime boom of the mid-�10s, debuting on Mr Mitch�s Gobstopper imprint with the now-verified classic �Urban Myth� EP. A run of massive edits, remixes, radio rips, plus a feature on legendary label Boxed followed - and then he went into hiding. Six years on, his follow-up EP expands and consolidates his sound into something truly unique and distinct. His central talents - glacial synth work, timeless melodies, pristine sound design - are all on show here in abundance, but twisted to fit new, refreshed patterns and structures. �Caffeine Dream� is mutant UK techno that offsets distorted bass and glitching synths against warm chords and a noodling melody. �Gold� is cool and stepping, sitting somewhere between early Night Slugs and the refracted deep house of DJ Python. Title track �Light Armour� is the EP�s understated climax - a lowlit and psychedelic take on modern pop, sounding something like a Charli XCX record A&R�d by the Freerotation crew. To close, �Microfunk Lament� and �Hakwsworth Woods� lean into microhouse and Reich-school minimalism, putting Iglew�s immense knack for melody and soul on full display.
