Love this part where the beat comes in, absolutely 😍

The garage edits you always wanted, but didn't know existed yet, have just landed on your feet, courtesy of a mysterious Irish artist and the Cheeky Music Group’s sub-label, Fruity Edits. Today we premiere a track from this 'Artfully Dodged Edits' EP.

Found on an old hard drive amongst other dutty delights, the artist in question has released on Hypercolour Records and Dixon Avenue Basement Jams - gaining repute for their hair-raising riddims - but here the Unknown Artist throws it back to the early 00's with three cuts of nostalgic, fun UKG.

The track we premiere today is the artist's rendition of JT’s ‘Cry Me A River’ which is a clever blend of skippy drums and instantly recognisable nostalgia, using only astutely selected sounds and a double-dose of personality to create something simultaneously true to its origin but undeniably its own.

Also on the EP are tracks ‘Africa’ which kicks things off with a flurry of syncopated beats and peachy bass and ‘Forgot About Dre’ which is a certified classic alongside a slinky UK garage backdrop to hit the sweet-spot between old and new. 

We’re not sure who the mystery artist is, but it’s definitely not Carlton Doom… You can support the release and purchase the 3 track EP on vinyl and digital via the BUY link.

Riding high off the rhythms of his ‘Club Wonk EP’ earlier this year, Alex Young aka Villager returns to Chloé Robinson’s Pretty Weird imprint with three tracks that further define his artistry. Villager has a particular way of acknowledging the fundamentals of UKG, bass and techno with his own twist; reconstructed and reimagined through sampling and hardware, while recorded live on groove boxes. He reveals the inspiration behind his latest ‘Blind Eye EP’ is “hyper dimensional mushroom club”.

The bouncing melodies and filtered pads that open the lead track ‘Blind Eye’ conjure eloquent soundscapes that strip down into syncopated rhythms and shuffling garage hi-hats. Vocal cuts add to the atmospherics and the intricate melodics build plenty of emotion.‘Oh Wow’ takes a more reductive approach; bouncing toms and fluctuating pitch-bends ride alongside 2-step beats and sparse vocals that create unconventional moments and mind-altering breakdowns. The fast-paced kicks and pulsating bassline of ‘Lemons' provide the foundations while chopped elements are in constant fluctuation, transporting you from rolling percussion and weighty stabs into a beautiful reverie of dreamlike melodies. All three tracks exude club playability and effortless energy, keeping the sentiment of the live jam strong.
