Doom Data - Number Nine

Doom Data is a new collaborative project between Australian producer Ourobonic Plague and LA-based songwriter / vocalist James Quentin Devine. Citing The Bug & Roger Robinson, Michael Hutchence & Ollie Olsen, and Sunn 0))) & Scott Walker as inspirations, "Number Nine" is their first official single from the duo. However, this slow, brooding track with heavy bass and somewhat drowsy vocals (and I mean it in a good way) makes me think of a crossover between Kode 9 and the Spaceape's "Memories of the Future" album and Water Borders' work, a shadowy dub-step and triphop crossover. It's advertised as "just a beginning", definitely waiting for more. Download here.
