Out on 14th April 2023, Curtain Road Vol. 2 is the latest swag from label of the moment ec2a, recently tipped as DJ Mag’s ‘Vital Label’ (March 2023). Ec2a’s Original Pirate Material sub-imprint is dedicated to full-run vinyl releases showcasing the scene’s most promising new talent. Following earlier releases from DJ Swagger, Main Phase and Bluetoof, among others, this new VA EP features a whopping six genre-blending club hits from producers working across the bass spectrum.

Kicking things off breezily on the A side is Over And Out label head Xander, with MJ Cole-style UKG excellence on ‘You Can’t Do This’. Liverpool beats-smith and M62 Records boss Tubz shows off his versatility on ‘Like That’, playing with US garage house stabs and vocals before bringing in an unmistakably UK bassline. Dominus, one of Beatport’s ‘Six Emerging Artists On Our Radar’ in October 2022, wraps up the first side with ‘The Heist’, a stepping mood piece that sees multiple bass and sub-basslines duking it out in the dark. 

The B side opens with Lovellius, a North-East based, South-West raised producer who strikes a sweet note on the sample-driven broken soul jam ‘Told You’. Fresh from featuring on Jaguar’s ‘Introducing’ segment on BBC Radio 1 Dance and supporting Interplanetary Criminal’s ‘Fugitive’ tour in Brighton, Van Wilkins reaches for a sweet R&B vocal sample on ‘Lose My Mind (New Mix)’, here pairing it with tough jungle rhythms and melancholic pads. Finally, following an appearance on Conducta’s Kiwi Rekords and two prior releases on ec2a’s main imprint, Warwick closes things out with the breakbeat epic ‘Vania’, the soundtrack to a battle raging somewhere out there in the cosmos.
