CONQUISTA by MESCK

Chestplate extend transatlantic relations by welcoming Los Angeles-based producer Mesck into the fold with the Conquista 12". Despite his location, Mesck has a firm grasp of the vibrant dynamics that make up the Chestplate sound, rolling out two dancefloor focused steppers that will find a welcome home in many a selector's record box. The title cut really shows off Mesck's talent for arrangement and sound design, with the hollowed kick patterns and ominous bassline the two defining elements. On the flip side, "Collusion" finds Mesck in a darker mood, stripping back the percussive detail to let the swooping bassline dominate proceedings on a production spilling with rudeness.
