Closing the EP, 'Trigus' stands as the most classically ‘UK Funky’ track. A fusion of rolling
snares, grimy bass wobble, and offbeat bleeps, its tantalisingly sparse breakdowns and
satisfying drops are made for old-school skanking.

Spaced-out number 'Give It To Me' fuses diverse percussive club influences. Bouncy log
drums and a looping, cryptic vocal build tension, before breakbeats erupt in the second half,
locking in a rave-ready groove.
