Stuff ...

South London has become an endless wellspring of creativity. Our very own Bradley Zero continues to make things happen with the vinyl-only debauchery of Rhythm Section, and just around the corner 22a Records are turning their penchant for half-slung beats and soul-flecked rhythms into a full blown movement. 

Henry Wu is a member of the latter making steadfast advances with his output. Rewind back to last February's delectable two-tracker for Natural Complexion and the back-to-back Jean Bassa cut for home stable 22a as evidence.

"Just Negotiate" is one of five groove-inducing jams from the Negotiate EP, housed by Alex Nut's HoTep imprint and out on February 16th. Powered by Simeon Jones' lush vocal sways, it teeters gracefully between the crevices of soul and synth-oozing funk. Groove on.

Henry Wu "Just Negotiate" - Boiler Room Debuts

Max Graef's still unfuckwithable 2014 debut    Rivers of the Red Planet  was the site of various pleasures. It had smoked-out soul by the blunt-load. It juggled boom-bap with neo-soul and rubbed together dusty jazz with the heft of house. It was the kind of statement record where a young producer was able to lay out his aesthetic touchstones and play them off each other in casual synthesis. It was also where we had the pleasure of meeting Nigerian-born vocalist extrordinaire Wayne Snow – an androgynous, mellifluous falsetto that wound perfectly into Max's half-time haze.    

After expanding album standout 'Running' into a fully-fleshed EP, the pair continue the chemistry with 'Rosie' – a new five-tracker coming out via Copenhagen label and shared home Tartelet Records. We're glad to say the same magic's still there in spades – the thick thud of Graef's signature kick, the warbling warm basslines and ever the star of the show, Wayne's tenderly acrobatic vocal lines. 

Peep the EP's title-track above and cop the whole thing on June 1st.
