Usually it’s enough to share single sound from a new E.P, however KRL‘s forthcoming debut full four piece in December deserves a double.

Deep Down delivers a slightly grittier sound with a low pitched vocal sample and dark chords, which later builds with an acid edge. The remaining tracks are sample full supers, all in all, a cracking collection.
