Forward Slash

A 5 track breaks ep (25m 12s) — released December 31st 2007 on Bass Gun Records

Edd Stephens (SmashBack) has previously produced bass-bothering electro and techno hybrids for WIDE records, which recently caught the attention of Dave Clarke who played the track 'Bernard's Ghetto' on his White Noise radio show & charted it at number 11 in his September 2007 chart. 'Forward Slash' sees SmashBack speed things up towards a more Drum & Bass influenced structure, with a variety of remixes that keep the fast pace and bass impact. Tracks from the Forward Slash E.P have been played on the Alta Ego & ill.fm digital radio stations. DJ support has come from Radioactive Man, Warlock & Glover. Shelley Parker has charted the E.P at number 3 in her December 2007 chart. Mixmag, DJ mag, hyponik.com & the fun-in-the-murky website are confirmed for future reviews.

"With laser zaps, wobbling bass and switches it's the link between dubstep and nu skool breaks" 3/5 - Joe Muggs Mixmag

"Edd takes things in a more booty techno direction with a bouncing bass line and warped melody throughout." 8/10 - Rik Symmetrik Hyponik
