Sukh Knight 'Crystal Skull EP' (Stripes Records)
Sukh Knight continues a stellar run of releases with a new EP for Stripes that feels as if it were made for tearing up the club. ‘Cop Killaz 2’ opens with crushing 808 beats and bhangra-style vocal samples, while the title track feels super-bright, as icy melody shards filter off in all sorts of directions. Sukh then joins forces with fellow Stripes signee Mystry on the squelchy, dubstep pressure of ‘Venom’ before taking things way back on ‘Criminals’.
