Get It Girl (ALL DOGS GO 2 HEAVEN OUT NOW @ BANDCAMP)

Once again on the Roska Kicks & Snares imprint, we are back in business to unveil a very exciting new EP drop from a returning face we are thrilled to see. Following on from the previous launch of his ‘A49 / Rudey’ EP, we are truly excited to welcome back the sounds of SPD, who has been on an absolutely killer run, spreading a fusion of UK funky and bass music around the land alongside a number of different label projects such as Eatmybeat & Durkle Disco, with some seriously high levels of impact.   

This new project is made up of three absolute scorchers, again treading the thin line between UK bass and funky, combining different electronic elements and rhythmic themes to generate something completely new. We open up with the title track ‘Caught Napping’, an almost techno inspired sweep through vibrant syncopated drum lines and eerie woodwind overlays, all of course wrapped up in a sumptuous piece of bassline production.

Next, a track that leans slightly more towards the UK funky end of the spectrum as the busy drum work and more minimal backdrops of ‘Drum Squad’ are unleashed, causing a highly energetic output to occur, linking together nicely with scattergun sub punches, unpredictable LFO thuds and unorthodox woodwind toots. Finally, a much more UKG-centric sound as ‘Hepcat’ delivers broken-beat drum rhythms, lofi synthetic processing and super catchy vocal designs, all culminating in a euphoria-inducing breakdown that will have lighters in the air across many a dance this winter.

The whole feel of this project is extremely refreshing, with a clear and concise set of different influences all playing their part in pushing SPD’s sound forward into previously unexplored realms of underground dance music.

Articulate specialise in UK Bass, UK Funky and Breaks however covering all spectrums of the scene, from Bassline to Grime they have it covered.

Founded in 2015 as a promotional Soundcloud channel, they then went on to release a succession of free compilations, featuring artists from all over the world such as Landis LaPace and Cellardore to name a few. In the closing months of 2016, they then took it a step further and released a huge joint collaboration with renowned promoter, distributor and publisher Pack London. Although only being a free channel, Articulate Sounds releases have received support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 1Xtra, Rinse, Represent and Radar amongst many others.

Along with releasing over 140 tracks for over 70 different artists, Articulate Sound have now also launched their own events, showcasing their extensive roster and some of the best upcoming artists in the underground scene, with TC4, Darkzy and Murder He Wrote headlining thus far.

In 2017, Articulate grew even stronger, hitting number 1 in the UKG and Breakbeat charts with their debut official release by Daze Prism, receiving support from the likes of My Nu Leng, DJ EJ and many others and even getting called “one of the most consistent curator channels in modern broken and bass music” by Juno Download. Articulate then went onto hit number 1 again for Doc Zee’s debut release “Feel Free”, which has since been featured in the likes of DJMag and Dummy. Finishing off 2017 Articulate released their final EP of the year titled “PINK GUN” by Ivo and went onto be called “One of our standout labels of 2017 for a top draw project” by Juno Download themselves. 2018 has been no calmer for Articulate, already releasing Spectrum’s debut single “Resonate” in January aswell as having releases lined up for the next 12 months that are sure to cook up a storm, it’s fair to say Articulate are not a label to sleep on.
