Review: With UK Garage becoming one of the most crowded spaces within UK dance music over the past three years, finding a way to stand out and maintain a high level of originality has become imperative in keeping a sound at the top of the tree. Thankfully, that's exactly what Starkey P has in the locker, as we open up this scrumptious three-tracker with the spacious designs of 'Love Me Harder', a futuristic chop through alluring vocal slices and fluttering melodic dives. Next, the remixes emerge as DJ Pencil & The Cut Up Boys first give the track a much more 2-step influenced spin, with Dan Speed's more gritty, bass-influenced overhaul giving us a nice closer to the project.
Review: As a final outing of the year, DJ Pencil & The Cut Up Boys have joined forces with the ever-ready STEP2 team for a smokey backdrop of remixes, celebrating the full release of their anthemic 'Grooverider 2023'. The original track focuses on stuttered bass stabs and tidy vocal samples, giving us some exciting elements to play with. The project features fourteen spicy reworks from the likes of Dan Speed, DJ Lix, DJ True, Richard Wright and more, giving us a range of styles from jungle to 4x4. Our highlights have to include Daffy's moody rethink, focussing on gnarly sub-growls, and of course the rave-ready D&B overhaul from Chase Perry, giving the original and entirely different feel. Top stuff!
Review: The STEP2 crew have once again come together to deliver a vibrant display of new school garage flavour, with this hearty two-track display from Groove Synergy providing a combination of nostalgic bliss and intense drum energy. We check out the 'Back To The Roots' initial mix firstly, a cinematic glide through moogy subs and choppy vocal samples, providing an old school feel with its floating chord textures and constantly evolving sense of rhythm. The secondary mix is a much more sub-driven, unloading a highly intense combination of chord progressions and pulsating low-ended elements, giving us two very differently decorated sides of the same coin.
