The three track EP titled Infinity delves into the minds of Ancient and gives listeners a ten minute journey of what three years working up to the project and a 5000 mile separation of the creators can achieve. Brandy starts off the release with lush samples of R&B diva, Brandy and warm strings. The bass riff that salutes to greats such as Massive Attack and Portishead rolls throughout alongside half-time percussion, for the first track on the EP it stands out.

Next up is Interlude which creates a soft atmosphere similar to that of Brandy but refreshes previous ideas, this piece rises from the depths up into view and rolls slowly around the listeners mind, glitching in places it feels like it is lost but quickly focus is restored. Although the track is just under three minutes it allows you to get lost in its presence, perhaps there is a story in this short interlude.

Track three and the last on the EP is titled Jai, this is my personal favourite on the release. The track takes another avenue in rhythmic content to the its rolling brothers on the release and is more of a guessing game in percussion. It seems to be an aesthetic of Ancient to write warm music, in the sense that there is not much in the way of sharp sounds in their work and this is a definite welcome addition. Jai switches up half way through the piece and comes from what is almost a Hip Hop beat to a more Dub influenced track with delay ridden chords and guitar melody with ethnic percussive rhythms whilst the dreamy vocal samples continue to hug us through the speakers.

Pre order - https://imperialaudio.bandcamp.com/album/imp010-crystal-catcha-animal-kingdom-ep-2

Animal Kingdom EP marks the tenth release for Imperial Audio, a label which strives on pushing an exciting, consistent style of dubstep and experimental music at or around 140bpm. With four years behind the imprint, their first double figure release marks a step forward and represents the ethos of Imperial as a whole.

Crystal Catcha provides the release with four tracks all centred around a very much animalistic and primal sounding ascetic, with a back catalogue of releases this South East, UK based producer certainly keeps away from the hype that captures so many producers these days and supplies something which is homegrown and original. After a long line of more ambient and electronica style releases that also hint to dubstep Jayson is taking a look to the more deep and dark dubstep whilst keeping it experimental in this EP.

The first track on the release, Crane & Tiger, gives a nod to Hip Hop in the almost sample like synth arrangement. It captures the asian sample well and works around the vocal with eastern strings, and ‘falling over itself’ percussion. 808 kicks punch through the low end and shuffling top frequencies break through the mix on a forward march. 

Title track on the EP is exactly as it suggests, although not the track that first incepted the EP idea it certainly glues it together nicely. Bird calls, raws of the king of the jungle and atmospherics lead you through whilst tough lows balance things against the rattle like percussion on top of the steady kick pattern.  
Locusts is a real look back to what Dubstep as a genre began as, a focus on the low frequencies but with a twist. It evolves throughout with simple snappy drums and a bass line that just harvests a head nod. The real action comes from the second drop, this track is the ‘mover’ of the EP.

Lastly, Endgame closes the release with game-esque synths rising in and out of the track and almost horror movie organ sounds. It keeps in context with the rest of the EP percussion-wise with clean steady percussive patterns throughout.
