Wut vinyl

It's been rinsed on, erm, Rinse, talked about vociferously across the forums, hailed as one of the singles of the year and now it's finally arrived in the shops. It is of course, Girl Unit's "Wut" - the long-awaited follow up to the London based producer's "IRL" 12" on Night Slugs. The title track brings uplifting trance-like synths together with swathes of hazy atmospherics and shimmering, shrieking vocals calling out the hypnotic riff, which reminds us of those scenes in Human Traffic where they trip out after getting back from the club. Next up "Every Time" is all whinnying vocals, a more recognisably dubstep rooted swinging beat and jarring stabs. Finishing with the aptly named "Showstoppa", Girl Unit pulls out all the stops, as slushy instrumentals wade across a luscious soundscape with crushing percussion and a sinuous bassline, punctuated by urbane lyrics calling 'hey!' and the blowing of a shrill whistle. Outstanding.
