Single review: Redlight – Source 16/Progress (Digital Soundboy)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 11 May 2011
When Redlight’s track ‘MDMA’ was used in Ms Dynamite’s frenetic and aggressive comeback single ‘What You Talking About?’ last year, it was quite evident that he has the ability to make a special brand of bass music, glitchy and weird but also well structured and impossibly catchy.
‘Progress’ and ‘Source 16’ deviate from this formula, and opt for a more conventional approach, though the brain-crushing basslines remain just as enjoyably overwhelming. ‘Source 16’ is good, the intro delicately shimmers before the onslaught begins. ‘Progress’, however, has opted for a more Eurodance-y Jersey Shore fist-pump vibe, which is unfortunate.
Even so, Redlight obviously has a lot to give, and I welcome his new material with open ears, as should you. JJB
Digital release: 9 May
