Mall Grab - Growing Pains

Jordon Alexander, better known as Mall Grab, just released a four track EP on his own imprint, Looking For Trouble. Growing Pains was born out of "a number of unfinished projects, somewhere in between grime, broken beat, rave and electro," and it is the title track that best exemplifies this ready to burst blend of beats.

Setting the scene, "Growing Pains" does indeed grow, slowly spreading its electro rave roots as the beat rattles around your ears with an awesome atmosphere. The drum introduction to the cavernous quality of the first room-shaking bass booms around 1:25 mark is more than enough to have you breaking out your best footwork as you attempt to keep pace with the propellant groove. Little licks and fun flourishes keep the rest of the raucous and rollicking production plenty pleasing it progresses through its dirty, dance dungeon-esque drops.

Just as Joe Goddard's Pull The Plug EP, punishes with electrifying energy, Growing Pains too is torturous to those unwilling to exercise their right to dance.
