Iron Soul - My Instrumentality Vol. 1 (2017)

Kromestar's Ricky Kalsi has been teasing us with his experimental grime project Iron Soul for some time now but hasn't released anywhere near as much as we'd like him to. Fizzing with a funky, carefree melting pot nature, here he consolidates his limited 12s with fresh cuts that exploring the most cosmic, funky and euphoric corners of grime beats. The whole album is a trip that jets you round places you didn't know existed; the tropical star-gazing romanticism of "Me X You", the raw funky purple power of "E-Motion", the sensual G-business of "Lost Memories", the list of Iron Soul's musical achievements and vision grows by the 16. Don't sleep on these.
