Every so often I hear a release that I know will be considered a classic, EP0001 falls into that category. Dayse and Aver are a progressive Hip Hop group based around Manchester, they describe themselves as "the left wing splinter group of The Natural Curriculum." Even though its only twenty-six minutes long it was long enough to blow me away completely with its eerie samples and odd unique instrumentals combined with furious culturally & politically awake lyrical content. The man behind the beats, Aver, must be a musical genius. The beat structure is so unique every time I listen to the E.P. I hear something new which keeps the music consistently fresh and interesting. Dayse has an incredible flow and delivery that makes the tracks a level above other artists within the scene at the moment. EP0001 in my opinion needs to be listened in a full sitting for full effect, although each track is powerful on its own. For me the highlights include the first track, Hell Is A City, which sums up the feel of the entire E.P. with its perfect sample and odd backing track filled with strange screeches and bleeps, The Perfection Of Home, which provides a great sound track while going about your day to day activity's, No Exit, which is great tale of to rebels with undertones of brotherhood and unity and finally the E.P.'s masterpiece Human Zoo which I never tyre of hearing. Dayse & Aver are going to change the face of music forever. EP0001 is available for free download from their web page, I highly recommend downloading it, it could just be your new favourite Hip Hop E.P.
