Review: London's Lobster Boy are back with a promising upstart in the form of Boeke. While not much is known of him/her as yet, expect to be hearing good things after the world gets a listen to "Pronto", a slamming latin techno exercise with infectious syncopated rhythm, tribal chants and and heck load of bass, of course. Second offering "Favela" leaves nothing to the imagination: this one getting some proper old school Baile funk vibes happening: which will blow the doors right off! Rolling bass, chopped up vocals and some more sick bongos to keep the kids dancing.
I'll Be Waiting (Lobster Boy mix) - (5:35) 126 BPM
Review: Bristol boy Redlight is back on Lobster Boy. The London label serves up his killer new remix of "I'll Be Waiting" with a bit of help from Liv Dawson (Tapestry: Disclosure's label) and Kojo Funds aka Golden Boy. With its tough riddims and absolutely bass driven attitude, this firestarter is bound to make dancefloors go totally mental in 2017! Honorable mention to Dawson's fabulous vocals which are supported by Funds' on point rhyming and Lobster Boy's assorted blurps and bleeps.. plus the odd police siren or two for good measure!
Review: The latest release on Redlight's Lobster Boy label comes from Bristol's Sly One. While most acts from the city take influence from its smoky, dub-heavy musical roots, this trio appear to have cast their gaze back to 90s techno. The title track, with its heavy, gained drums, noisy analogue riffs and crashing percussion, sounds like a mixture of Neil Landstrumm's early work for Peacefrog and Relief-style jacking. There is a similar approach on "Air Punching"; on this occasion, shrill riffs underpin cheeky hardcore-style vocal samples that speed up and down over crashing break beats. It's a racuous, colorful release that reaffirms Sly One's status as purveyors of party techno.
Review: London's Redlight delivers the first single from his new album X Colour which will be released very soon on Lobster Boy. Following up the hit singles "Threshold" and "Metronome", "Blood Moon" is a driving and adrenalised electro house jam that has a sick bassline and welcome surefire artillery for any serious DJs arsenal in the vein of D. Ramirez or more recently Will Clarke. This young gun is definitely one to watch!
Review: Quadrants main man and Merseyside's finest Mele is back with Queens Day: no doubt a tribute to Amsterdam's best party of the year and what a fitting soundtrack it is. A Latin-esque Carnival flavoured track that crosses over with bass music splendidly. Those whistles and steel drums are pretty sick, but just wait for that drop! Second track "Body Thing" continues on with the Latin festive vibes; those steel drums go even more ballistic with even more funk, this track could easily mix well with some summery big room tech house for monstrous effect.
