For our eightieth outing we focus on the winner of this year’s AVA emerging producer competition, a bright new hope from the city of Derry.

Cartin backs up his winning Gunman track with a full EP packed with personality and raw energy, this is easily one of the strongest debuts we’ve ever had on the label.

From Extended Play - Eighty, track released September 25, 2020

Gunman EP

Acid Flex resident Cartin drops his first full-length EP on Nocturne, coinciding with his debut Boiler Room for Belfast's AVA Festival.

The classically trained Derry native delivers a truly unique take on percussive energy across 3 tracks, backed up by a chugged-out remix from Philadelphia's Zillas on Acid.

The title track, Bunk is a whirlwind of rave energy, fusing gnarly sawtooth bass over loose grooves, vocal chops, and acid warbles topped off with Cartin on live keys demonstrating a musicality often overlooked in contemporary club music.

Cartin serves up a cut of future hip house in Lost My Watch Again - designed for rowdy dance floors and well-tuned sound systems. Things take a more electro turn on J-Pop Robocop, with broken beats and stuttering vocoders leading the way coupled with Cartin's distinctive drum programming.

Zillas on Acid wrap things up with their trademark slo-mo-acid-rave sound, taking things in a completely different direction, and demonstrating why they're in demand by electronic music flagship labels.
