dj Rum

Two tracks of epic proportions for the 2nd full release from DjRUM on 2nd Drop. The opening track from DjRUM’s outstanding mix for Mary Anne Hobbs back in early Sept 2011, Watermark begins with a wonderful flourish of harp arpeggios and obscure movie samples before dropping into a dubbed out techno pulse. It’s no surprise that he can count T++, Craig Richards (Tyrant), Gilles Peterson and Scuba as fans. On the flip, The Darkest Hour Is Just Before Dawn (Undercoat pt.2) Starting out as a VIP of Undercoat to explore its further techno reaches, the track quickly took on a life of its own, and has now morphed into a widescreen canvas rumbling down each vein of reference and subtly embellishing it further whilst bringing in new elements to complete the story and the Mountains saga.
