    Blimp EP

    Beatport Top Releases

    Ashley Tindall, AKA Skeptical, returns in peak form with Blimp EP -- the fourth release on his Rubi Records imprint -- delivering four meticulously crafted cuts of uncompromising drum & bass. Opening with the title track, Blimp sets the tone with a deep, steppy wobbler that nods subtly to the title track from his second Rubi Records release, Capsize EP. All the signature Skeptical hallmarks are here: hypnotic, pared-back metronomic drums and shimmy-inducing, undulating subs that demand movement. Yet this time there's a noticeable shift -- warm, underlying melodic pads bring an unexpected emotional depth. It's not dreamy, but it is more introspective than we're used to, showing another layer to his sonic palette. So Good flips the script entirely. A dark, cinematic growler, it leans into ghosted vocal fragments and a futuristic film-noir aesthetic. Tense, claustrophobic rhythms and sinister textures create an unsettling atmosphere -- tailor-made for those lights-out, pressure-heavy dancefloor moments. Third comes the undeniable monster of the EP, Technology. Trademark "stink-face" Skeppiness is in full effect from the first bar. Disjointed sci-fi stabs and eerie pads collide with clinical, almost militaristic drum programming, all anchored by a devastatingly weighty bassline. Movement isn't optional -- this is pure Skeptical, uncompromising and lethal. Closing the EP is Bad Generation, a sound system-influenced weapon that finds Skeptical operating at his dubwise best. Fusing minimal D&B with heavyweight, roots-inspired rhythms is no easy task, but here it's executed with effortless authority. It's equally suited to shelling down a rave or getting lost in a deep, eyes-closed session. Four tracks. Four distinct moods. 100\%\% Skeptical. Blimp EP confirms once again that his sound continues to evolve -- sharper, deeper, and more refined with every release.
