Sometimes we make a musical discovery that makes us really, really happy – Rekchampa is one such discovery. Splicing a myriad of classic R&B samples over his glacial 2 step beats, this Atlanta-bred producer is making big waves across the atlantic. We hope he will be touring the UK soon!
Just listen to this live set from Awful Sessions. Skills!

Mr DL is has never been one for conforming to genre-specifics. This new EP out on Ninja Tune explores yet more uncharted territory, shifting gears through BPMs and styles and touching upon all kinds of vibes. You can stream the full EP on Juno Plus. Get the vinyl here at boomkat. Check out the incredible title track below.
Made available through his Soundcloud & Bandcamp pages, Ghostek offers up this free 3 track EP. Haunting and dark beats a plenty with some great synths and trademark crackles. Absolutely loving this style of 2-step. Not to be missed.
