Seven tracks on offer here from Essex-based artist Mark Soye. The EP is called Dubglitch, so no further generic explanations are required on that front.

The opening Nomus communicates little; a short instrumental piece with echoing sampled vocals and revolving metallic sounds. This leads into the title track, where a dubby groove underpins a heavily reverbed drum break. It’s a slow-burning effort that never really sparks into life.

Violet Scratches introduces a semblance of melody, with light melodic keys repetitively sequenced over a space-age forest of warbling noises. It sounds a bit like The Orb on Valium.

Geiger Counter heightens the tempo, but the much overused sampled breakbeat on show is particularly off-putting. Again, the track never gets going, it stops, it starts, it stops - after a while you’re left wondering if Soye has a master plan or is merely making it up as he goes along.

The 8-minute insect is equally dislocated, starkly absent of melodic content, it’s all thickly compressed beats with a grisly, tedious bass line. By now the EP has collapsed under the weight of its own insufferable boredom, and one might question whether Soye is truly ready for another record label release.
