Battle is a slow jungle darkness full of growler bass and quirky synth lines. Automatic is buckfunky with oodles of knob twiddling to warp the head, anchored by a shout out loud vocal loop and layered bleeps. Flip over for downbeat head mash electronica to test the limitations of your speakers." Mike Hogan (Breakspoll/Mofo Mag) "A strong debut for both Cardiff based producer Lee Marshall aka Underpass and Urban Planning Records. The EP begins with 'Battle' - a heavy bass scuffles with discordant melodies and an electro beat. 'Automatic' - with crazy bass sounds and grinding kick drum - writhes like a malfunctioning assembly robot. Everything changes on the flip side as Underpass introduces lush textures and bleeps in the gorgeous title track. More abstract than electro but retaining a Detroit influenced beat. 'Vent' enters a more hostile setting with dark, looming melodies and metallic noises. Whether you're after glitched-up electronics or off-centre floor shakers this is pure quality - check it out!" (delta-9.net) "Minimalism'd seem to be quite the thing at the moment, wouldnt it? After all, 'Flashdance' refuses to die, and 'Drop It Like It's Hot' must be the most under-instrumented top ten hit since 'Killing Me Softly'. And it's in this spirit that we welcome Underpass, for whom chord changes would appear to be a sparingly used option at best. There's about as much gnarled squealing as you'll find on 'Rocker', mind, and an earlyish B-boy sensibility at play that's perhaps most fully realised on the Last Poets-sampling 'Automatic', while the title track goes some way to filling the Orbital-shaped hole in our stereo. Promising, to say the least." (play louder.com) "We're always on the lookout for quality electro and breaks material so imagine our eyes lighting up when we first heard this 3 tracker on the UK's new Urban Planning label. Each of the mixes here is standout material` from the edgy top-endy synth lines and sped up electro beats of the lead cut to the Si Begg/Tipper flavoured squelch-breaks of the B1; both of these first 2 tracks will rip up any dancefloor. The final track will attract Carl Finlow fans with its dreamy abstract sequences and light floating beats- perfect 'listening' electro for that next mix cd project!"(Battlemonkey.net) "Underpass [is] a studiously bleak experiment in sinister, breaks-ridden leftfield electronica, fielding the mentalist digital drumn'bass energy of Squarepusher in a gritty and relentlessly dark urban backdrop." (Radio 1: Session in Wales) "This is excellent, hell dark techy electro breaks. Acidic bleeps and great undercurrents of sub bass. If you like the stuff that say, Radioactive Man plays and produces, you'll dig this."
