As a prelude to his second album for Hyperdub, due in September, 'Dark Crawler' sees Terror Danjah drop punchy, manic beats and claustrophobic stabs on this bloodthirsty grime banger, with grime's original London Warlord Riko Dan spitting patois menace of the kind that might make MI5 raise their terrorist threat levels. On the B side is the bubbler 'Fruit Punch', Terror's energetic, 8bar take on funky, which - by contrast - adds some fun to the militant proceedings. With a tight, rolling drum tattoo tearing across the mix, and a tropical melody sharing space with a bulldozer of sub-bass, it's a case of opposites attract.
