This is the first release on Team shadeteks own label since they were signed up by WARP, it features Tiombe Lockhart for the opening track, who is already touted as the next big thing on the U.S Urban scene, AND this release comes in a strictly limited edition housed in hand printed sleeves by Shadetek's SOZE.SHT and Zach Zizmore.

Tiombe Lockhart's "Dont understand" gets this ep underway with a smooth RNB style, bass heavy honey rich message to all the listeners, whilst Team Shadetek take it apart and then carefully reconstruct it with "She". This is very minimal and slowly building for a shadetek joint, which gradually builds itself from naturally occuring sounds, ranging from vocal moans and cave like murmurings stitched together with a sunshine thread, to keep you from losing all colour. Atmospheric stuff.

"Glassy eyes" by Drop the Lime attacks your senses with a spinflip happy mask created completely by hundreds of different drum strikes. Trying to even focus on this madness is a hard task, as blurry beats and samplers argue with each other about who has the best hair, and the mish mash style talks to you in a very calculated manner. Careful on this one. Modeselektor mess around with the vocal, so you cant work out whats going on, whislt droping a massively heavy bassline, that shakes your skull that little bit more than others. The vocals turn into a gargantuan maruading dark monster whose one sole mission is to cause some damage today, by wreckng up some continents and unleashing some of this dark almost industrial breakbeat manicness onto the masses.

The Girls ep didnt really do it for me, just seemed a bit sparse at times, although there were some cool elements throughout the tracks, but didnt have the impact of the previous Shadetek records release. Modeselektors track was my favourite one on here. Definetly worth a listen though, just not to my personal taste.
