Banoffee Pies Records 15th Original Series release comes from Cassius Select. Canadian born producer Lavurn Lee, now residing in his home city of Hong Kong, drops his latest solo EP “Heavyweight”. His unique style and selective output has drawn our attention for some time. This release does exactly what it says on the tin. With previous appearances on the likes of Matthew Herbert's Accidental JNR., Hypercolour and more, he has maintained a primary focus on rhythmic structures, alienated textures and eerie vocalisations that flaunt a strong influence and appreciation for UK techno, Hip Hop, Garage, and all things Broken Beat. 

The release kicks off with “Born To Defence”, a mood setter scattered with punchy drum rolls and wild toms that set the tone for a harmonic palette across the 4 tracks. The A2 “Honda Civic” displays a tougher edge using a hybrid of sound. Pulsing late night business - Hatchback style. “Sicko Groove” gets the B side off the ground with a chest rattling, Grime inspired club track, sliding further up the weight divisions before things close off with “Guia Circuit”, a more techy low end tool with notable energy shifts. BP015 sustains stripped back but relentless percussion throughout. “The Original Circuit Training Soundtrack”. Love BP x
