Detroit's Filthiest
Accept No Substitute

As 313 Bass Mechanics and plenty more besides, Julian Shamou has a lot going on at any one time. His work as Detroit's Filthiest seems to be the main focus right now though, and since the essential Private Stock 12" in 2019 he's been working closely with Casa Voyager to carry some of his gnarliest work. The relationship continues apace with Accept No Substitute, which deals in seriously funked up electro gear which nods to Miami booty bass as much as anything Motor City related. 'Perception Of Reality' even tips towards breakbeats with a UK hardcore flex, while 'Hypnotized Music' piles on the nasty b-lines and 'Under My Spell' slips into a low down dirty machine funk mode. 'Song For Sultan' rounds the EP off with something a little sweeter for when you want to nice the crowd up without dropping the tempo.
