@cotto_music's back with a two-track heater for the heads craving that classic hard house energy. "Bring Tha Hard House Back" lives up to its name with a jacking swing that fits in a chunky, disco-infused bassline. A squelchy Korg cuts through the mix, while orchestral stabs and vinyl scratches on the breakdown evoke a legit 90s street brawler video game vibe. On the flip, "Roll On" takes a darker turn, a brooding speed garage number perfect for late-night sets. Follow the driving techno kick to a drop where a manky bassline pulsates beneath flickering electronics. Prepare to get lost in this one.

[DOS-EC2A-01] - COTTO

Nottingham’s very own n4tee brings speedy g and hard house warfare on this double-tracker. First up, “88kru” gives no time to settle, instead packing in enough blasting sound FX to fill up a lazer quest arena. Then, n4tee takes you up to the big boss: a behemoth breakdown with a doom-stricken bassline that knocks the dust off the drums. “Riddim Runnaz” hands over to a thrusting house groove that spools and unspools like a turbine. When you think you’ve got it pegged, the track digs deeper to find a grizzly second drop spawned from the depths of the Earth. A stretched voice in “88kru” declares “you can’t bring me down”, and with this addition to the Digital Only Series, you’ll be on board.

French producer and Rinse France resident Hyas debuts on ec2a with a two-tracker that pioneers EUKG - velvety European garage featuring verses from a duo of MCs from across the channel. “Mit Rauch” taps up Germany’s Vitus04 for some freestyle energy. Whipping percussion and drips of organ lay the foundation for the rapper to launch into breathless flows in the verses, vaulting over each bar like a true lyrical olympian.

Over a bristling frenzy of speedy G hi-hats, Sheffield’s Silva Bumpa comes through with a snotty, disco-flavoured bassline burner on “Automatic.” The drop tumbles down the bar stairs, dusts itself off and does it all over again over a rock-solid swing. Bumpa throws flashes of a disco ball in the mix, as well as a swaggering vocal sample which slows down just enough to make the whole track feel even more nimble. Glamorous and gritty, it’s classic Silva Bumpa tekkers.

For ec2a’s Digital Only Series, Benwal delivers dirty Dutch speed garage that bares its teeth while nursing bruised emotions underneath. “U Need” cuts deep with a vocal that is rife with confusion and heartache, its bassline ripping through and tearing up the floor like it’s trying to make sense of it all. “Back To The Old School” brings conga-lined speedy G that rolls like a vintage Bush Records tune. The bass is molten and malicious, but Benwal pulls an unexpected turn when he welcomes a transfixing church organ in the midsection. Just as you lock into a trance, house horns dish out a Sweet Chin Music to snap you back into the drop.
