Slugabed is Greg Feldwick, a hotly tipped producer from Bath, now living in Brighton, who makes an unusual and
thoroughly enjoyable sound.
He's happily won fans from all over the electronic spectrum, with labels demanding tracks for release without him
really
trying.
Ultra Heat Treated is his six track debut for Planet Mu and shows off his catchy hip-hop influenced sound.
Slugabed's music is a thick low-end molasses of sound. He's like a sonic dredger, dragging a wide spectrum of
influences into his grimy productions, from hip-hop to dubstep and grime, and using them amongst his sloppy low-end
punchy drums and thick raspy bass, punctuating the murk with fractured flashes of melody and sounds that shoot like
lasers. The incredible thing is that within this thick fractured stew, he manages to hold onto some rather sweet
melodies.
The first track 'Ultra Heat Treated' sets the scene with its super sloppy drums and stoned dubstepish melody broken up
with fast neon arpeggios. The whole set contrasts in melody and technique: 'Quantum Leap' with it's out of focus chords
and rather beautiful melody acts as a great centre point and the EP finishes with the heraldic 'Titans', the drums
punching hard over a heraldic melody.
