Cultus I by WORSHIP
It’s officially been 1 year since the inception of the label and releasing music that embodies the WORSHIP vision - overcast, abrasive, and gritty club sounds from artists with unique approaches to their craft. “Cultus I” brings together some of our closest working artists for a mini-compilation, presenting a diverse range of energies and tempos that fall under the wide umbrella of the WORSHIP sound.
The compilation opens with “Wig Split” by Moscow Legend & Ninety, a variation on one of the most prominent tracks featured in the dubplate series, with the eponymous vocal snippet revealed in this version of the mix. No long introductions necessary for this one. Cruel, frenetic, bone-rattling mutant grime.
Illegal Shipment continues to strengthen his presence with raw & dark UK garage flavours, hitting a sweet spot between highly moveable 2-step grooves, dark and heady atmospheres, and authentic old school production on “Source of Nature” - already garnering repeated support from J:Kenzo and many more.
WORSHIP lynchpin Tracksuit Goth leans into slower, club focused territory on “State of Emergency”, a 130 tool building its groove and atmosphere around whirred sirens and wide, reflexive kicks. An amalgamation of percussive tribal techno and UK bass, this one is low-key yet distinctive, offering effortless blends and flexibility in mixes.
Saving the heaviest til last; diving outside of the lighter, future bass sounds that he has become renowned for, S T I N 9 takes on a new form with “bloo6”, a heavy, chaos techno cut that bleeds anarchistic peak time energy. Centred around an excessive, bitter, and destructive stuttered beat, small glints of glossy venom seep through the edges.
Please note: “Wig Split” is a variation on the track present on WORSHIP002. The WORSHIP002 version continues to remain dubplate only.
