Review: Once again we are thrilled to return to the legendary 877 Records, a Brighton based label who have played such an integral part in the growth and establishment of UK bass music over the years. This time around they welcome Deech inside for a post-funky shackout, kicking off with the unique rhythmic designs and unpredictable percussive manoeuvres of 'Cuts', giving the EP a lively intro. Next, 'New Tool' gives us a pulsating roller of an original, focusing again on bulbous percussive stabs for an interesting sonic experience, before 'Rotate' then arrives with a fusion of moogy 808 rolls and choppy breaksy influxes. The breaksy theme sees us through to the finale as 'Alpha' gives us a euphoric closer, doused in spacy pad textures and a colourful arrangement to sign out in style.
Review: As far as labels go within the bass scene's largened expanse, We definitely feel that 877 are one of the leading lights in introducing new faces, regardless of notoriety, judging only on the vibes they bring to the table. For this high quality creation, they smash together the illustrious vocal presence of Magugu with Deech's subtle funky arrangements, creating something truly masterful. On remix duty, Killjoy steps out of the fold to conjure up a truly fantastic recreation, focussing his compositional structure on dark, grinding bass moogs and enticing drum designs, perfect for setting the dance alight.
