DDD is on a hot streak when it comes to releasing Canadas top talent, and Konka is back on the label with an EP so sinister it makes a black hole seem like a more welcome proposition: The Darkness. Throughout the EPs incredible sequence of tunes, theres a constant feel of dread, baron lands, and a complete absence of hope. Set aside the eerie atmospheres, punishing subs and savage synths, as a former drummer himself, the element that stands out the most is the producers incredible use of percussion - setting up scatty grooves that have feel, musicality and off kilter leniency. This is represented no better than in the eponymous opening track and also the lead single Ripchord- with the former creating a unique wonky shuffle that glues the track together, and the seconds intricate snare patterns working perfectly in tandem with MC Donnie Dankos insane bars. Welcome to the absence of light. Welcome to Konkas Darkness.
