releasesBig Shiny Balls
Is the third release by The Temporarily Hidden. TTH are Toronto-based Curtis Ruptash (BassKase, Guerilla Welfare, Peabody & Sherman) and Chicago-based David Suycott (Fila Brazillia, Machines of Loving Grace, Stabbing Westward). On this release they again deliver their head-nodding dubwise, trip hop, and downtempo styles, while also exploring throwback dialed up drums-and-bass and jungle vibes.
The first track is appropriately titled "DnB_002" is a full tilt drum-and-bass influenced burner. "Fleshy Part Of The Pineapple" provides a dubbed out rare-groove-on-acid vibe. "Plastic Covers For The Furniture" is firmly in the dubwise camp, while "As You Were" plays in downtempo, shoegaze territory. Things come screaming back with "DnB_001"... and you know what to expect on that one! The release wraps up with David Suycott’s even trippier remix of BassKase’s already tripped cut “Leisure Time”.
Fans of Burial, Fila Brazilia, African Head Charge, Photek, Paradox and Tricky will vibe on this release.

001
When drummer David Suycott (Fila Brazillia, Machines of Loving Grace, Stabbing Westward) and bassist Curtis Ruptash (BassKase, Guerilla Welfare, Peabody & Sherman) decided to launch a live duo project, the key question what genre? Both have high eclectic backgrounds and tastes. It didn’t take long to lean toward the bass/drum dominant styles of dubwise and downtempo. And off they went! These track arose from workshopping approaches that quickly gelled into cohesive pieces. Punchy, vibey head nodding grooves with a big slathering of ear candy.
