90s High School student Duke listened to tape cassettes of Speed Garage on his walkman. His eyes were nearly closed, his limbs struggling to remain still, his lips beatboxing along quietly to the bassline.
During a class experiment taking apart electronics, he brought his grandfather’s old AM radio. Unbeknownst to the Duke, this radio altho looking nothing more than an antique, had been forever transformed from the fallout of radiation from an atom bomb detonation in 1945. As Duke plugged in the radio, a freak accident occurred. Suddenly there was a spine shattering crash and a blinding light. 1.21 jigowatts of electricity was unleashed causing a rift in the space-time continuum, and the young Duke was transported to a parallel world, one where the past, the present and the future were all merged.
Back from his journey, the Duke is ready to unleash his Future Swing Time Machine on our world. He delivers on this one in true style on this EP, providing bass-heavy house drops fused with hip hop snippets and big brass stabs. The catchy earworm of Boomtown Boom features a saucy sax topline with the vocal talents of Emma Lea. On ‘Simon Says’, LA-based Duke Skellington teams up with London MC Hypeman Sage for this no-nonsense lesson in Bass House. Hypeman Sage wastes no time showing us how filthy he can get spitting lyrics over the Dukes driven bass house.
