Hyperdub, 4AD, XL, and now Big Dada have all served as outlets for Zomby, whose three-track EP Gasp! contrasts sharply with the previous year's largely skeletal and prickly Ultra. The concluding "Zprite" does offer ambient-knocking menace, but the two preceding cuts are among the producer's most physical and satisfying work.
