Tearing Now by Sir Hiss

'Tearing Now', or 'Tearing Up' at the masterful combination of Grime & Electro displayed here on the title track? Infectious bass-arpeggios sit above thumping subs, while a classy arrangement which works its way through a classic MC rant to an unexpected culmination in an almost Bingerian string outro satisfies both the casual listener and the RWD Forum nerd.

On 'Airplane', Hiss cunningly uses sounds and samples that sound a bit like aeroplanes. We could end the blurb here, such is level of the genius on display, but then we wouldn't mention the almost Gqom-esque tension built through the insistent bass power, or the way pulling the first clap forward hints at Garage, without flying too far from the Electro runway operating from Grime airport. I'll stop now.
