Review:
Brenmar has been gaining the attention of many for his incendiary mixes and scorching club tracks such as So High, released this summer on Sinden's Grizzly label. Now he finds himself on Ikonika's Hum & Buzz for what is probably his best EP to date. "Let's Pretend" takes R&B vocals and huge leads and sits them atop a massive dancehall bassline. "Temperature Rising" meanwhile lives up to its name, creating a much smokier atmosphere, with a deep and driving 303 bassline powering the frenetic pace of its cut up vocals. "Done (Don't Luv Me No More)" is an undoubted standout, with a furious 150bpm pace and suspended rhythms which recall Chicago juke. Finally MikeQ provides a more straightened out version of "Done" which brings the vocals to the fore, creating a more melancholy version of the furious original.
