“Aground” unfolds across nearly thirteen minutes of corroded, looping stepper’s dub, all frayed sub-bass and drifting delay. Like much of the Rhythm & Sound catalogue, it feels infinite, stretching time until minutes dissolve into a meditative eternity.

On the flip, “Aerial” introduces the spectral presence of Tikiman, his voice rising like a vapor trail over the mist. It’s a parting gesture that feels definitive, a closing chapter to one of the most perfectly realised and timeless label catalogues in modern music.
