Phatworld – Kelvin Phlats EP
The effortless way that Phatworld play with atypical sounds and incorporate them into bass-heavy dance music is truly a marvel.
Secret Agent Gel – Stay Up Late
I feel sexier for just having listened to it and, if that isn’t a glowing enough recommendation for you, music like this probably wouldn’t be your thing anyway.
Gantz – Ruff 4
Known for his unapologetically leftfield excursions, Istanbul’s Gantz is an enigmatic presence in electronic music.
Silva Bumpa – Hard 13
Full of fun, loaded with to-the-point party starters from a promising talent in the 4×4/garage space.
207 – Koto EP
Rustling chimes and twisted vocal/horn interplay become a sticking point throughout, alongside the tried-and-true combination of a busy rhythm section anchored by a monolithic bass.
DJ Q & Todd Edwards – Sweet Day
Overall the composition feels like the two have managed to mediate a tight partnership… an authentic love letter to garage.
Mask – Gangster
A track that neatly represented much of the music I would overhear growing up—it was written by experienced artists who wrote across the bass music spectrum.
Snowy – Lovey Dovey
I would hope that, above all else, this brings more eyes and ears to the East Midlands and the exceptionally talented artists that call it home.
Tammo Hesselink – Mantis 07
Contrasting surgically precise percussion with emotive pads, this quadruple bill of thoughtfully programmed leftfield techno and bass tracks is not to be missed.
