Although his last record for Hypercolour – Who Knows (Where Love Lives) – is still very much owning dancefloors worldwide, Last Magpie is back with another sound package on sister imprint, Losing Suki. This time we find the mysterious producer in slightly heavier, bassier mode, toying with deep house tropes and myriad UK influences in equal measure.

‘1995’ opens the EP with darting, brightly coloured synths shooting in all directions from a churning percussive clatter that runs up the middle. Bass stabs keep things nice and airy feeling, and fractured vocals bring the all-important human and hooky element to the track. Despite being restless and itchy, it still manages to retain a certain house-y soul.

Then, ‘Hypno’ channels some dark energy through woodblock hits, STL style, as ripples of a human voice roll to the edge of the track and beyond. All tightly coiled and kinetic, it’s an eerie and spacious track to take the mood of any dancefloor down a notch or two.

Next, ‘Roots’ is a subtle take on a tried and tested garage template with swirling, backward sounding LFOs snaking around beneath sharpened chord stabs and a touch of the Balearic synth work he is fast becoming known for.

Finally, ‘Fallen’ turns right in on itself. Introverted and sombre, wallowing and watery, it comes from deep under the surface with only the thinnest rays of light permeating a skeletal percussive rhythm. The occasional melodic snowflakes that also rain across the face of the arrangement are bliss and beautiful in equal measure. Though Last Magpie is adept at crafting catchy bangers, this one might just be his most assured track to date.


Last Magpie - 1995

I’ve been producing music since 2014 without releasing a single track. That changes today. Out of everything in my catalogue it’s a track I made yesterday lol. Funny how things work out. 
Just a little something while I make the big stuff. 
This just the tip of the iceberg.
Thanks for your support.

Cousins Alfie and Billy Goffey formed ‘Cousn’ at the age of 16. Both from highly musical backgrounds they began to create their own unique sound. Each track crafted by the Goffey’s is an array of past subcultures. From the 90s techno rave scene, the DIY approach of the punks, and the eccentricity of acid. It’s the freedom that comes with escaping to the dancefloor that continues to push Cousn’s endless journey to never be pigeonholed.

Cousn got off to a blistering start in their career, with their Debut EP ‘Juggle’ being named Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune. Cousn were then named as ‘Pete Tong’s Future Stars of 2019’ with the year starting off by supporting one of their idols Fatboy Slim across all 7 dates of his UK Arena tour.

Since then the boys have released 7 more EPs which have amassed over 2.5million plays on Spotify with all their tracks coming out on their own label FAMLY Records, with Are You With Us and Movement becoming Danny Howard’s Friday Fire and Jaguar’s Dancefloor Moment on Radio 1. With remixes of the likes of Jessie Ware, Elder Island, Allie X, Lau.ra and Surya Sen, Cousn have built up a wide ranging discography.

Playing mainly their own released and unreleased music, their raw high energy sound has managed to bag them sets at some of the top clubs & festivals including DC10, The Warehouse Project, Printworks, Wembley Arena, Motion, Glastonbury, Bestival, Wilderness, Secret Garden Party, Boomtown & Hideout.

Cousn also debuted their long awaited club night ‘FAMLY Connection’ in November 2021, selling out the brand new venue Bonkers Bar, situated in Dalston, London . The duo have sold out each of the 3 following nights since, with FAMLY Connection starting to build a solid following.

Cousn have been on Rinse FM for over 2 years now, starting in February 2020 the duos monthly shows have seen them strive to champion new upcoming artists, with an eclectic genre-defying hour of music being at the forefront of what they are about. A staple of the Cousn show is their own collective ‘FAMLY Connection’ - a Whatsapp group filled with promising young producers and artists of all ages and walks of life. Every 3 months Cousn record a ‘FAMLY Connection Special’ in which all the music comes from within the group, they also release FAMLY Connection guest mixes, in which members get to show off their sound for 30 minutes/an hour.

Cousn are set to release their long-awaited debut album 'FAMLY Jewels' on new label 'Jack Said What' later this year. Their feelgood first single from the album is ‘Fluffy Teddy Bear’, which has already been premiered by Jaguar on Radio 1. “‘Fluffy Teddy Bear’ is about that really unique feeling you get only in glimpses,” the Cousn boys explain. “You’re on the best dancefloor, the music’s pulsing through you, you’re coming up, wow… What a crowd it is tonight, everyone’s so friendly. I feel happy, I feel I belong… I just want to cuddle everybody here… Let me fluff you up and down! Stroke my fur, run your fingers through it, I DON’T CARE!”

Look out for Cousn's fluffy teddy bear mascot on their socials or at a club, festival or party near you!
