The Flawed Hip Hop E.P.

The Herbaliser

Gritty mid-90s Ninja Tune hip-hop. Cinematic horn sections collide with aggressive turntablism and dusty, late-night urban grooves.

It’s like a 70s spy movie theme got mugged in a 90s London alleyway.

A cool, calculated urban mystery that feels both sophisticated and gritty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp, rhythmic chirps of the crossfader on Mr. D.J. that mimic a lead synthesizer.
The sudden shift into a claustrophobic, slowed-down groove during the DJ Vadim remix of 40 Winks.
The way the upright bass line on Mr. Chombee Has the Flaw anchors the chaotic horn samples.
