Invasion
Terror Danjah
Released: 13 Sep 2019
Label: Tru Thoughts
‘Invasion’ is the sixth, highly-anticipated, album from grime veteran and production mastermind, Terror Danjah. One of the most well-respected producers and key players in the grime world, London-based Terror Danjah is known for his work with some of the highest calibre of MCs in the scene, such as Wiley, Dizzee Rascal and N.A.S.T.Y. Crew (which included Jammer, D Double E and Kano).
An exceptional instrumental LP, ‘Invasion’ features Terror’s trademark heavy basslines, intricate programming and kinetic productions, with a sonic output that is brash, neon-bright and hyperactive. Lead single “Module” is a deep dancefloor-tested tune layered like a colossal sonic wall, featuring Terror Danjah’s idiosyncratic presence of a gremlin-meets-robotic crackle – a secret formula to the success of his sound. ‘Invasion’ also boasts collabs with producer, BBC 1Xtra DJ and close friend Sir Spyro on album opener “TBC” and fresh new talent, Nii-Teiko featuring on “Scene 1”.
The use of Caribbean steel pan drums on “Wavy” creates euphoria-laden rhythms, “Snowfall” is an agro-distorted dub attack, while “After Dark” showcases Terror Danjah at his finest, ominous and hard-hitting with wobbly bass backdrops and chopped vocal clips scattered around the room eerily.
