The fifth report from the Subplate cannon and its four full force party-bangers of analogue future-tronics. A quaking quartet of road tested tracks that can’t fail to storm any set from house party to highland mega rave.
Starting with Cold Rock – a mutant hip hop jam, ripping some hard hitting attitude from the forgotten vaults of a certain female rap artist and matching them with a booming break, stuttered edits and a melody hook like Dr Dre never got rich.
Red Shoes fires in with a four four UK-garage stomp, razor sharp percussion slices a bass line punchier than a barrel full of madman brew wrapped up in a Scooby Doo horror chime to chill your bones and march your Fila’s.
Flip disc for the trademark dancehall electro jack – precision structure and solid Smith n Hack jump edits anchor a sassy analogue squelch that will put the green eyes on anyone from Dexter to Raiders of The Lost Arp. Platinum attitude with effortless flow.
The title track, Voodootronics raises the Subplate standard high into the half-step, ragga-electro galaxy. The melodics could be Ersatz, the groove 1982 Console, the bootleg vocal is pure renegade Kingston: the combination however is vintage Sleepless Crew. A track to make you read your rave scriptures and praise your maker. Fire & Brimstone!
Miss this record and miss the freshest sound that is straight-up Glasgow 3007. Worldwide.
Here what some other people said:
“A2 and B1 doing it for me. Choc full of squirty badness. Just the sort of sleaze-funk that twists my mind tank. Both Tracks exceedingly droppable.”
Andrew Weatherall
“4 quality dubwise slabs of totally original sounding analogue funk. Got my Red dancing Shoes on!! A2 is the one!!”
Keith Tenniswood

The 12” is Currently at the pressing plant waiting for agent Felix to drop off the funds. This is regarded as another step up for the Sleepless Crew as they redefine what might once have been described as Electro bass, into some mongrel sounds.
