Des McMahon - No Need To Speak [Santoku Records] by Des•McMahon published on 2018-10-15T15:05:53Z ▶ Download / Stream: http://smarturl.it/DMNoNeed2Speak Desmond McMahon returns for the second time to a record label who have firmly solidified themselves within both the US and European drum & bass market, having already bridged the gap across the Atlantic. His next EP on Santoku is an expert follow on from the release which provided a pedestal for the young producer, one who’s paved his way through the scene’s biggest stages in the US, the type which tastemakers look to when they consider the underground success of dance music’s pivotal sub genre. The finely-honed sounds of Des have often brought out the freshest turns in DJ sets and mixing styles, providing an intricate look into the younger members of drum & bass and the talent which they’re currently bringing through the ranks. The four-track package from Des is a look into the versatility of the upcoming producer - from ‘No Need to Speak’ through to ‘Ghost’, he grapples with his heavy layering and carefully laid out musicality in a way that demonstrates just how illustrious he is as an artist. This time he’s taken a more dance floor approach, opposed to the cut throat style of his ‘Delirium’ EP, whilst still pushing his signature throughout every meticulous segment he builds, one on top of the next. ‘No Need to Speak’ draws you straight into the fray with drums which administer swift punches and a bassline that crackles throughout the mix. Next up ‘Bad Habits’ is just as dynamic, creating a driving rhythm which is punctuated by the records swift hooks that jump out from you between the composition. Following on is ‘Bulletproof’ which nods to its namesake and it’s impenetrable in its make up. And finally you’re brought into the wavering movements of ‘Ghost’, the perfect end to his ‘No need to Speak’ EP and giving a final snapshot into his diversity as a producer. Santoku highlight how they have an eye for picking up blossoming newcomers - and Des is leading the charge. Although a go-to from the beginning, Santoku are making themselves widely felt without the need to submit to a more commercial appeal. ▶ Follow Des McMahon: - Facebook: www.facebook.com/desmcmahon - Soundcloud: @desmcmahon - Twitter: www.twitter.com/desmcmahon Genre Drum & Bass Contains tracks Des McMahon - No Need To Speak by SANTOKU RECORDS published on 2018-10-15T14:02:08Z Des McMahon - Bad Habits [Bassrush Premiere] by Des•McMahon published on 2018-10-11T13:56:03Z Des McMahon - Bulletproof by SANTOKU RECORDS published on 2018-10-15T14:06:26Z Des McMahon - Ghost by SANTOKU RECORDS published on 2018-10-15T14:07:50Z
