Eskmo - Willow Grail EP (Studio Rockers) (STUDR003)
"Dubstep Release of the month"
"Those ever-discerning Rockers have scoured the planet
for yet freakier dubstep movers and shakers and have alighted on Frisco's
Brendan Angelides. None of San Fran's sunny hippydom here, though.
Dark, moody and quite magnificent, cuts like 'Process' weave a twisted, funky magic -
part dub, part techno, part cut 'n' paste UKG. The grime crew will find
affinity with the metallic roboticism of 'Trudge'. Prepare to have your ears cranked
open by Eskmo's innovative individualism."- djmag (2008)
"Won't be so easily pinned down by the conventions of genre....pretty special too, featuring the kind of
pseudo-classical sampling material heard on Murcof's first album, but set into a 4/4 dubstep hybrid....
something monstrous trying to squirm its way out of a tar pit. Good stuff."- Boomkat (2008)
Kid Kameleon (XLR8R)
"Eskmo (aka Brendan Angelides) has been slowly building a catalog of gems...science fiction-like possibilities of sound.
His productions have really hit their stride recently
with a unique fusion of dubstep and breaks....the third release on Botchit and Scarper's dubstep side-label,
Studio Rockers, and it's blinding. Crisp drums spar with growling basslines in an ever-changing dance that's
worthy of being a soundtrack to Ninja Scroll....Spine tingling stuff." XLR8R (2008)
"Eskmo drops a massive bass rolling workout... Simply destroys the sound system" URB (2007)
