Hot off dropping an EP on Hooversound, East London DJ and producer Drumskull launches his own eponymous label with a double-header featuring Club Glow co-founder Mani Festo.
The four-tracker includes an original from each producer – both tracks previously released on Seagrave before it closed its doors last year, taking its back catalogue with it. With these reissued versions remastered, each producer then remixes the other for a fresh, new take.
Drumskull’s ‘Phase Velocity’ displays the same genre fluidity highlighted on 2020’s debut album ‘Interlocked’. Starting out with a footwork stutter, lush chords floating over booming 808s, the vibe evolves, rolling breaks adding in a jungle intensity. Mani Festo reconstructs this for 140 floors, his club kick pattern providing the bounce as flanging, time-stretched breakbeats keep it rooted in the hardcore continuum.
Mani Festo, aka South East London DJ, producer and graphic artist, Nick Marks, has previously appeared on labels such as Rupture, E-Beamz, Sneaker Social Club and Club Glow, which he runs with LMajor, Borai and Denham Audio. ‘Hours’ highlights his background in drum and bass, rude basslines running under techy, metallic breaks. Reduced down to 135 by Drumskull, deep, deadly subs and bumpy, swung drums focus it into a dark, shuffling groove.
Combining two of the leading lights from the new wave of breakbeat music, the Phase Velocity EP is released digitally on Friday 24th March 2023 with a limited run of lathe cuts available via the launch party at Planet Wax in London on the same date and to follow on Bandcamp.//
