As promised a couple weeks back we have a brand new release from Paper Tiger hitting our playlist. This 3 track EP is typically eclectic for the group, whose influences include reggae, garage, glitch and hip hop. ‘Send Me’ has cutty 2 step vibes, with a nice sampled vocal and a funky rhythm track. There are 2 versions on this cut, track 3 being the live version, all recorded in one take with no overdubs. ‘Ask Me How I Am’ is a the tripped out B-Side with a deeper vibe. These are some accomplished live performers and I will keep emphasising this – GO AND SEE THEM LIVE!!! This will be your next opportunity;

Positive vibes with each track and it sounds more like a party than an LP. A seriously diverse sounding record moving from ska to dubstep whilst maintaining classing backings and a nod to days gone by. Essential listening.

We’re big fans of the Mindset Records camp, not least playing lots of their cuts on our radio show. Their latest release sees a 3 track debut from Troy Gunner. Instantly adding himself to the rich and infectious melodies present in the back catalogue, this teenage producer keeps you on your toes with each track. While the melodies carry you along the sonic manipulation keeps your ears alert. Rhythmic 2-step, atmospheric pads and rolling progression make this release really stand out, Dancing In The Leaves is a personal favourite but have a listen, make up your own mind and enjoy. Cop the release on 5th December.

Incorporating electronic production along with live instrumentation, Raikes Parade AKA Andy Blundell is a musician & producer residing in Manchester. Working with bands before working on his solo project he’s producing some of the most authentic and organic riddims we’ve heard. Pushing the boundaries of the one-man band this is refreshing, exciting whilst also hard to believe its all coming from a bedroom. Check out his work on Soundcloud, Collaboration Dub with Relic being a favourite over here.
