New Hype Williams: Dior EP.

December 4, 2010, 4 comments

Miss Copeland graciously sent over the latest Hype Williams EP this week with a few mostly short cuts of the duo’s latest twisted mind-games captured on audio tape. Dior starts with a four minute mantra about the necessity to catch all Pokemon before Blunt and Copeland deliver one of their finest works to date with the EP’s (untitled) second track, a terrific late night jam made up of slowly burning analogue synth lines over a simple drum pattern and gently seducing female vocals – this is almost like that thing back in the days with these slowed-down drum’n'base structures that we used to call, oh yes, trip hop. Anyway, almost all other tracks on the EP end painfully quick and might rather be described as mere sketches than actual songs. Only the closing tune, most probably named Treated Her Badly, again exceeds the two and a half minute mark with another calm and more or less signature Hype Williams production, all screwed and chopped up and awesome.

Whether the Dior EP is planned to be released on wax remains to be seen. Download the whole 13 miuntes over here.
