Pupa

"sensational, fantastic and radical" (De:Bug magazine)

"The second part of Weevil's insectoid series is a lot less drum'n'bass than the first, with a dark and breaky A side and a much more melodic B one than what was to be heard on its predecessor (for all I know, though, these tracks could have been written by totally different artists). It takes a bit longer to get into this one, but the quality level is kept high, may it be on the composition or production level. Cool stuff that doesn't fit in too well with clichés but really doesn't sound like done by newcomers at all. Now go figure who is behind all this." (Nicolas Chevreux / AdNoiseam)

"Darker subs-driven dubstep on the anonymous Weevil series outta Berlin. This is Part 2 in the limited, hand-numbered editions, offering one uncomfortably droning piece on the A-side loaded with a shuddering sub and crisp dubtech drums. On the flip There's another one for the scarier dancefloors with more angular rhythm edits and finally a Breaksy cut. One for fans of Elemental, Shed, Scuba etc." (Boomkat)

"The Weevil Series consists of three 12" records, released through the middle months of 2010. It is not meant to be a new label nor is it part of any other. Instead of catalogue numbers, all three records have a "protagonist", each one of three development stages of a weevil - Larva, Pupa, Adult. The records are produced in a hand-numbered and stamped limited edition of 300 each. This first part of the triumvurate first emerged in March, and until now has only been available from Berlin's renowned Hard Wax store. Like the first Larva EP, Pupa contains three untitled cuts. The A-Side comes with a radical halfstep-concept that sounds like the perfect combination of Pan Sonic and Somatic Responses but kicks in a way both couldn't have ever achieved under their own steam. Its beats hammer like an industrial metal press while an unholy chorus of infinite reverbing drones and distorted robotic voices make the sense of creeping dread truly spine-tingling. B1 is an unbelievably sophisticated mixture of dark raved out wobble, almost-rock-band drum patterns, and pads that thrive in that particular framework to develop their dynamics perfectly, while background sounds call to mind Aphex Twin's seminal didgeridoo tune if reworked in a slo-mo neonj disco style B2 meanwhile, after such deep and dark predecessors, surprises with light and fleet-fooded dubs. A sensational and radical EP." (Clear Spot NL)

The release comes as a 12" record, black vinyl in white inner sleeve and strictly limited to 300 hand-numbered copies for the world.
