Käärkäsi – Hypno EP | Lejal Globe

We featured Estonian artist Kusto on this blog recently and it would appear word has been spreading throughout the local music scene over there –  this  just dropped into our inbox courtesy of Käärkäsi (another name I’m inevitably going to pronounce wrong).

The theme is basement-thumping dark garage reminiscent of Zed Bias and El-B‘s earlier work. Filthy undertones are punctuated by moments of melodic bliss, but you won’t relax for long – the persistent development of skippy rhythms and the grubby sub bass grinding away underneath keep your limbs moving. For that reason in particular, this little lot are going straight into the ‘playing out’ folder.

Released under the Lejal Globe imprint, you can grab all 5 tracks on iTunes or Amazon, or if you would rather get a 320 or wav (and why not) they are available on Juno. Preview the whole thing below via Soundcloud. Go on then!

NDREAD – Everything | ICU Audio

Much like chocolate gateaux, Garage is at its best when it’s chilled and crispy. That’s certainly the case for this amazing new release from 2-step producer and SUB FM DJ Ndread. Rolling in with the retro-esque ‘Everything’ we are bounced along nicely into the beautiful soulful vocal mix of the track ‘Apologies’. This is then complemented by the instrumental to round off the release. You can preview our favourite track from this release below, and buy the whole thing from Juno here.
