- At the centre of the Venn diagram where bass music, UK funky and grime converge with house there's few more accomplished or as vital as T Williams. The west Londoner's debut for PMR might have house as its final destination, but there's plenty of stopping-off points on the way. "Moving Fast" leans heavily on classic garage, bursting forth with pinging synths, a bassline that pops and crackles and a wobbling, cut-up female vocal. The most trad of the four tracks, "Can't Get Enough," with vocals by Himal, flails around under the spell of a seismic synth hook and bouncing UKG-flavoured hi-hat/snare combo.
It's breakbeat that Williams turns to on "Quote On Quote Bass," albeit of the nastiest, grimiest, crunchiest variety imaginable with a TB303 bassline that you could probably use to break up tarmac. The brutality of it is thrown into sharp relief by "Think of You," an anthemic, bittersweet vocal house cut. Singer Tendai's plaintive R&B tubes swoop and dive atop minor key church organ, icy bass prods and gliding percussion, joyously closing an EP that's pregnant with ideas and sonic sophistication.
