Rude Audio - Rudest (EP)

Out now, ‘Rudest’ is a four-track EP from electronic DJ Collective ‘Rude Audio’ who are made up of a group of DJs from 19 to 53.

Opener ‘Crystal Pylon’ is a throbbing electronic start, its mix of dark, industrial sounds and ethereal vocal calls merging together into a delightfully varied and captivating soundscape. 

‘Knockemdub’ fuses a subtle Caribbean rhythm into the track, its elements once more gently being introduced and weaved in into the magical sounding flow that includes snippets of speeches and other vocal effects into a calming, hypnotic exploration of what music can make you feel.

‘Half Moon Lane Glitter’, which flows seamlessly from the previous track to the last, is less distinctive in its style through a lack of more intriguing vocal hooks but is nevertheless a strong and involving composition with some Eurosian hints in its delivery.

The EP wraps up with ‘User’, a spookier, more ghostly affair, mixing up haunting musical lines with a more sombre styling, tying up a strong, electronic-focussed EP with plenty of ideas that weave well together to create a pleasing aural experience.
