Review: Returning to Livity Sound, DJ Polo ventures beyond the UK funky style he delivered with Tribal Brothers on 2021's The Link Up EP and adds to his repertoire some extra lean, bass-focused rhythms. Here the Bristol-based producer showcases a versatile exploration of tempos and influences on If The Glove Fits, this time drawing from gqom, techno, and Afrobeats. Not to come across as a wild experiment, there's no denying that the club is definitive focus here with heavy staccato basslines, banging percussion and seismic bass-weight all round. Across four tracks Polo expertly balances tension and release, showcasing a consistent physical presence when delivering his latest production ethic to a sound system that fits.
