Future Classic: Pepe Bradock “Baby Craddock”

Pepe Bradock is back! Some ten months on from the release of his inspired Le Fada EP, the veteran Parisian beat-maker delivers another sublime, six-track assault on the senses.

The mood is set by opener “Yazuke”, a pitch-black fusion of fizzing jazz drums, macabre electronics and razor sharp acid lines, before he struts off on a more positive, wide-eyed tip on the bumpy “Grodno”. Elsewhere, you’ll find some exotic and intoxicating ambience in the shape of “Sainte-Maure”, a glitchy, cut-up take on U.S house (the brilliantly bonkers “Underground Monogahela”), an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink rinse out (“Boom Boom Crash”, which sounds like Basement Jaxx’s “Fly Life” on acid), and a beat-less, late night trip (“1755”).
