Across four stripped-back, high-pressure productions, the EP embraces abrasion, repetition and imperfect textures without losing sight of the rhythmic detail that has long characterised Sabre's work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Thematically this is undeniably a drum and bass project,\" says Sabre \"but conceptually it's way more influenced by acts outside the scene. It's primarily an experiment with untamed distortion. I just wanted to contribute a raw, punkish perspective to a scene renowned for its immaculately crafted precision productions. It's an experiment in genre fusion with a limited envelope that I'd love to expand on.\" - Sabre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe release also marks a significant personal return following the evolution of Ivy Lab, reconnecting Sabre with the alias that first established his voice within UK bass music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541472432213,"sku":null,"price":820.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/4680\/3285\/files\/CRIT280_front.jpg?v=1793086287","url":"https:\/\/ukemirecords.com\/products\/sabre-big-cat-ep","provider":"Ukemi Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
