Hazards of Prophecy is the latest project from UK producer Dave Rendle ('System Status' and 'The Detroit Urban Gardening Ensemble'). Dave has previously released music on labels including Untracked, Out Here Audio, Horn Wax, Stupid Human, People Must Jam and his own label Night Sweats Music and has caught the attention of global tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Phil Asher, Ashley Beedle, Alex Nut and Ross Allen.
Kicking things off with "Percussion Concussion", Hazards of Prophecy lay down luscious chords, a wriggling bassline and carefully spliced vocal chops over a bedrock of interlocking rhythms and whistles in what can only be described as a floaty "Bruklearic" roller. The A2, "Minnie & Marcos", takes things up a gear and brings the listener on a Rhodes fuelled odyssey, swinging through a variety of dynamically and sonically versatile sections as it pulls and pushes limbs across the dancefloor. Finally, "Love & Rum" bring things to a half-time climax with majestic pads, piercing synth runs and a bubbling rhythm section.
