Static

TC4 make their debut on Four40 Records and there's no holding back from this duo, displaying just as much flair from their previous release on RKS, 

"Chopper" certainly is certainly a track which crosses the wires and mashes up house, bashment, garage.

"Savage" is an unexpected carnival monster, a hybrid tune with a heavy low-end, bumpy percussion. The horizon is looking pretty big for Tom and Kate right about now.

Witchdoctor
'6AM' EP
(Downplay / DWN003)

RELEASED 06.04.2018

Witchdoctor is an emerging new talent on the UKG and Bass Music scene. Operating out of London, the DJ & Producer has been steadily carving a name out for himself in both genres, most recently with his wicked debut release on Hausmade.

Downplay is proud to present ‘6AM, the sophomore EP from London producer Witchdoctor.

‘Champagne’ kicks off proceedings with a fully feel-good vibe, staccato rhythms and good-time melodies mixing it up before the groove steps in properly. Sugar-sweet basslines and chopped vocals intersperse the track for a little ray of UKG sunshine that will put a smile on any raver’s face.

Title track ‘6AM’ takes another path entirely, with a low-slung 4X4 rhythm guiding the beat across chord washes and a rolling bassline that gives the production a full-on warehouse bumpy bubbler taste that’ll have the floor full in no time.

‘Wot U R’ mixes the best elements of both proceeding tracks into a perfect UKG concoction, saccharine melodies inter-playing tough beats to mesmerizing effect.

Downplay is proud to present the new single from Russian producer Blasta.

‘Vybe’ is pure summertime fun with an incredible lyrical turn from Steps AKA Steppa Style, delivering a pitch perfect salvo of MC nostalgia wrapped up in modern production savvy. The beat switches between 2-step speaker-shaker to 4x4 chest-rattler with ease, running through a whole trick bag of FX and percussive cuts that is 100% sunshine.

Rinse FM’s DJ Dappa delivers an outstanding remix on the digital flip, increasing the summer vibes with a take that includes sweet string samples and orchaestral stabs to devastating eﬀect. No danceﬂoor is going to be safe from this one!

Blasta & Steps - Vybe (Dub) (DWN005)

Downplay is proud to present the debut EP from new Manchester producer MYKROBOY.

‘Open Arms’ is a magical track - equal parts soothing synths and languorous vocals sprinkled over a robust 2-step groove, that slowly unfolds into a 4x4 piano roller. It’s the kind of track that is easy to get lost in - every component compliments the others with beguiling results.

‘Horizon’ takes you even deeper, rolling beats underpinning a truly spellbinding journey that is equal parts cinematic and emotive. Garage tracks like this are rare to come by these days - something that takes the template and twists it into new shapes.

‘Deja Vu’ rolls out on lush piano keys and sugar sweet vocals with a firing breakbeat foundation for something totally refreshing, before unfurling with an orchestral grandiosity that showcases just how versatile this new artist really is.

Music Sounds Better With You [Bootleg]

Why have one of the best up and coming UK Garage artists on an EP when you can have two?

Downplay is proud to welcome producers On1 & ZeroFG to the label for their first collaborative release.

‘Big Sound’ arrives in an ominous atmosphere, brooding chords swirling around a stripped-back 2-Step groove. Bubbling basslines provide the punch as the percussion gets an intensive workout.

‘Next Up’ raises the tempo and delivers a master-class in minimal funk as the rolling bass combines with a killer rhythm to get your head nodding and your feet moving.

‘Conform’ drops soulful vocal samples over an ever-evolving rhythm for an intriguing roll-out that extrapolates the classic UKG template and mutates it into something fresh and new.

Next up is Aversion, an equally eerie introduction in fine On1 style, subtly building sounds and energy pushing towards the climax which is the drop which makes for a bass heavy, head nodding, screw face pulling, gun finger pointing riddim! This track will make any dance floor shake to the foundations making it almost impossible not to skank to it!

Signal EP

On1 - Aversion

Signal kicks off with a eerie tone, murky spaced out strings sit ontop of a bouncing high hat groove setting the tone. As the intro progresses more elements get introduced continuously pushing the track forward getting the listener more immersed and more curious about what is going to happen next, when almost out of nowhere the real build hammers in and without warning so does the gritty bass and skippy drums making this proper 2-step X grime hybrid making it a track that would sit well in a set with MC's as well on its own.

On1 - Signal

There is no doubt that this year has been somewhat of a storm for Deadly Habits, who returns to Four40 with open arms here for his brand new ‘Past North’ EP. Following from a tasty string of singles and releases, this is the perfect way to summarize just how much we enjoy the Deadly Habitz sound.  The project consists of four storming originals, kicking off with the high energy drum rolls and exciting percussive switches of ‘The Night’, which combines blissful subs with choppy vocals for a real party. Next, we dive into the xylophone like melodic chimes of ‘Love It’ which adds a more colourful element to the release.   Following this we land in the more nostalgic chord switches and choppy, 2-step style drum maneuvers of ‘Calling’, which strips back the heavier drum work to employ more clicky drum set. This is then followed up with a tasty finale through the throwback flavours of ‘90’s Vibes’. This one does what it says on the tin, with crunchy drum expanses and shimmering electronic melodics being sewn throughout the composition from start to finish.   What a way to round up the year from one of 2019’s stand out UKG producers!
