Four humungous tracks full of dark synths, cold drums and vicious sub bass. The four tracks range in style and contain elements of dubstep, 2-step garage and house.
We became aware of this guy after listening to Blynk’s remix of ‘You Got Me’ (featured on this weeks show). Pushed by not-for-profit netlabel FWONK, there are some amazing vibes on these four cuts. Dark and funky. Bag it now.

Apologies this week but we’ve both had to take gardening leave. As such we haven’t been able to lace the music with our sultry Mancunian tones and have had to let the music do the talking. The selection remains as upfront as always and normal service will be resumed next week. Enjoy.
