Soil and Sound is proud to welcome @Qwirkk to the familia for our sixteenth instalment on our 10” dub series. Bringing those classic ‘purple’ grime & dubstep sounds to the table, Qwirk excellently composes crispy drum patterns, dark basses and soaring square wave melodies on his debut vinyl release.

A/ Chroma Violet

This bright and shimmering composition is hands-down 140 anthem material. Syncopated chords layered with sputtering synth plucks all backed up with a heavy, bouncing kit pattern. Paired with a crisp neo-grime influenced lead melody, this track is the definition of an “A side” tune.

B/ Cut Glass

A darker and colder tune, but cut from the same stylistic, nostalgic cloth. “Cut Glass” sets out with a huge brooding bassline, rumbling underneath a complex set of crispy drums, ghost notes galore. The track lets this dark passage lead up to a break where a bright plucked synth melody builds anticipation for a wild, stripped-back bass and drum drop.

Available to preorder from our Bandcamp on Friday, 04/08/23 at 7PM BST.

30 copies will be available to preorder.

All records are hand-cut by Dubstudio onto 10” transparent plates. 
Housed in hand-stamped disco sleeves and protected by a PVC outer sleeve.

Expect shipping within 7-8 weeks of the initial preorder day.

Thanks @donnie_darkroast for the pic

Guitar twitches, shimmer out the sky
Makes me wonder: is this forever, our separate minds?
Tension between us, not sure why
I wanna talk about it before we get high

Hometown fakes pimping out the accent
Callin' mans fam loosely for reactions
Social media constructions take away from creation,
socialization, real action
Don't do no actin'
every single expression comes from experience
Me, bredren, sistren, NBs, my siblin's
Streets w/ crackhouses next to modern multi-million dollar mansions

Cognitive dissonance, paradox in a synonym
Succumb to sense gratification while gripping w/ hedonism
Formless, no prism
Yet the mind's still a prison
Make sure to leave no witness when you make the big decision
Earth still spinnin'
Bombs keep us pinned in
What the strong willin'
Ain't changed but it's different
Comes w/ less feelin'
Less face to face killin'
Obliteration w/out facin'
The millions disappearin'

Guitar twitches, shimmer out the sky
Makes me wonder: is this forever, our separate minds?
Tension between us, not sure why
I wanna talk about it before we get high

Friends judge street users
While blowing up their noses
Everyone's a boozer when the economy imposes
Some winners, bare losers
Who doesn't know this?
Stone cold facts
Straight from Moses
Stimulants, depressants teach no lessons
Psychedelics make me unattracted to women
Can't chase feelin'
Indecision, time wastin'
Starin' at bags of dry beans in the kitchen

The kind of girl so radiant she glows
Wide eyes flow into an innocent soul
Her nature, green, not naive, a slow tempo
To taste the moment, savour before it goes
Men think they know, but they don't
They get caught in the id and the ego
So consuming-the loss-letting her go
When in the rain, tears don't show

Mandeville Freestyle

Alone at night contemplating my psychogenesis
The path minds take to get bent to shit
Don’t even wanna have to mention this
Too many cliffs to run off sentences

Is this the best time to take medicines?
Been sayin’, stimulants teach no lessons 
Be timeless, speak to soul consciousness

Marhaba
Mans take off the balaclava
Show a face flake like baklava
Straight shot of
Gin, Irish Car Bomb
Get pissed off like the Lord
with Sodom and Gomorrah

The pen I write this with, hardened plastic
Another mass extinction before it degrades to bits
No more ink like we ran outta squid
Dark blue hues when I close my eyelids

Reminiscent images, so sunkissed
One oughtta know better, oil n water don’t mix
Making music like my life depends on it
Cuz it does, self-destruction subdued by penmanship

Said I’d be a janitor cuz I’m a spic
They’re not wrong, mans cleanin’ up shit
Some ancestors slaves, others manned the ships
Now everyone got jobs with no benefits

Mixed feelings
Time alone feels like divorced parent meetings
When you’re here, they’re gone for the time being
The door shuts and I’m a kid again, kicking and screaming

Summer rain reminds me of spring
Back when I lost my shit, couldn’t stop thinking
“I’m being crushed” felt like no one’s listening
So long ago now, feels like a daydream
