PROC FISKAL Lothian Buses EP

12 Vinyl

Lothian Buses is an EP of genre collisions with Proc Fiskal amalgamating his twinkling, caffeinated grime sound with the rhythms and sounds of other genres, without ever overthinking it. To kick off, Thurs Jung Yout is a kind of shoegaze drill with strings and gentle tones swelling and dissipating against busy drill beats. Baguettes is a more classic Proc sound, a galloping rhythm against a sparse melody that was a quick fix up for a show that turned out well. Choco Frito (Calamari) was influenced by the good life, DJing in Portugal in the sunshine and hearing Kuduro played out. The latticing drum patterns nod to the style, dropping into a sunny accordion chorus with a plucked guitar line. Scarab Aloph is Procs style compressed, full of micro-glitches, tight drum fills and incidental drop-outs across a pretty melody, while HopeTak2 is his percussive, breezy take on funky house with smiley melodic stabs. Finally, Mullit Madollock takes the sonics of airy Bukem-style atmospheric jungle, an instantly recognisable inspiration thats not been as foregrounded in Procs work before, refitted and updated with grime-inspired melodic bass kicks.
