Sober & Dribbla Freaks Speak Dark LP So you know about Sober and Dribbla.... No jazz or funk samples. Not interested in recreating the golden era of hip-hop. Not them.. Only interested in being original and twisted. Instead its hardcore and abstract, claustrophobic and melodic... they use warped synths and tube-train bass sounds of hardcore and dubstep to take you on a dark and heavy hip-hop journey. The Micro Korg inspired music sees it turned up at full tilt; possibly with smoke and sparks flying from it to produce a heavier than ever LP 'Freaks Speak Dark'. This is still hip-hop - but not quite as you know it, or might understand. but thats the point. From the opener and title track it establishes a tone of black humour and menace coming right from the depths of Dribbla’s inner dark-place. Fuse this with throbbing synths and twisted Sober beats and from start to the bitter end (and their fitting 'Apology')you have 11 tracks of intense dubby-bass heavy paranoid funkiness. You need to be in the mood to hear this kind of music; you can listen to it, but you don't hear it. 2 or 3 plays down the line you really feel 'Grenades' and 'Cheap Tricks'; possibly the album’s highlight where Dribbla's adoptive rhyming style mirrors the twisted beat crafted by Sober. Apology is a fitting end to this LP; where you can't help but be drawn into their world... and these Freaks Speak Darker than most. ...from the depths of Dribbla’s inner dark-place and twisted Sober beats... intense dubby-bass heavy paranoid funkiness. - Mr Lingo  Related Links: © ukhh.com 1999 - 2008
