South Central: ‘The Day I Die’ (Egregore Records 14/03/2011)

The rampaging Brighton remix masters seek to show they can  create impetus and irresistible drive from the off rather than instilling it into the material of others. Revving distorted beats and thumping bass-lines gives ‘The Way I die’, drive and bite. However, this isn’t matched by the trite lyrics and slightly limp vocal delivery that makes the track uneven. 

The Prodigy use their remix to input more grind and gruel to the rhythm and attempt to illuminate the pleading mortality accepting lyrics, but still the tune lacks consistency between the rhythmic drive and lyrical delivery. South Central give a hint that they could be compelling, energy inspiring, in-yer-face beat-masters, but they need a bit more focus and all round consistency than they have shown here.
