Obvious Presents: YOUNGSTA

first opened its doors - for Youngsta's debut solo 12" to arrive on Tempa, featuring the tracks 'Destruction' and 'Poseidon'. 'Destruction' takes a while to live up to its ominous title, with clouds gradually gathering throughout the track before finally erupting into a huge and violent thunderstorm. Aptly named after the Greek god of the sea, 'Poseidon' is a gorgeous, dub-infused roller, driven by a rubbery bassline that thrashes back and forth above a swung rhythm that nods to two-step.

In many ways both tracks cut right to the core of the Youngsta sound - sub-bass is a constant and oppressive presence, while sparse rhythms and ghostly melodies lend a sense of unbroken flow. Along with his collaborations with fellow artists such as LX One and Kryptic Minds, they're potent reminders of the physical and psychological power of Youngsta's DJ sets, now further expressed through his own music.
