gerry read’s debut lp sure was an idiosyncratic affair.
you can always rely on ramp’s younger upstart, fourth wave, to serve up the sounds of tomorrow.
completing a hat-trick of hurried sounding house eps on fourth wave, gerry read confirms what you suspected from his first two releases on the label: the man got skills.
so this is interesting. after debuting on dark arx last year with an ep which took in dubstep, shades of four tet/burial garage and digital dub, 19 year old gerry read is back with something wholly different again. this time on fourth wave, his ‘untitled/legs’ two tracker is coated thick with dust and comes from more of a deep house than bass standpoint. given the shades of people like omar s or falty dl in 4/4 mode throughout both tracks, it’s genuinely impressive that this is only the teenager’s (also impressive) second full release.
