The ‘Time Splitter’ EP marks the fifth chapter of B:Thorough’s avant-garde Textured imprint, following the introspective ‘(Don’t) Luv Me’ EP released in 2023. This eagerly awaited instalment sees B:Thorough reunite with fellow Coyote Records alum, Slick, for a project bursting with originality and dynamic production.

Having connected online through Soundcloud, B:Thorough and Slick began collaborating after an encounter on East London’s Subtle Radio. The pair’s creative synergy first captured attention with their haunting track “Double Up,” released on French Tabloid’s ‘VA 001’ compilation in March 2023 alongside heavyweights Benny Ill and Blackdown.

The title track ‘Time Splitter’ showcases the pair’s signature styles, combining Slick’s precise rhythmic architecture with B:Thorough’s piercing synth arrangement. With its dynamic three-part structure, ‘Time Splitter’ takes listeners on a thrilling sonic journey, each section injecting a new vitality.

'Tearing Now', or 'Tearing Up' at the masterful combination of Grime & Electro displayed here on the title track? Infectious bass-arpeggios sit above thumping subs, while a classy arrangement which works its way through a classic MC rant to an unexpected culmination in an almost Bingerian string outro satisfies both the casual listener and the RWD Forum nerd.

On 'Airplane', Hiss cunningly uses sounds and samples that sound a bit like aeroplanes. We could end the blurb here, such is level of the genius on display, but then we wouldn't mention the almost Gqom-esque tension built through the insistent bass power, or the way pulling the first clap forward hints at Garage, without flying too far from the Electro runway operating from Grime airport. I'll stop now.

This one a vocal killer. Formula Records head into 2016 with a collaborative release from Bluku Music head honcho, unadulterated grime legend and one of the biggest MCs in the game, D Double E. Double himself needs little intro, having been repping the East London sound since the N.A.S.T.Y. Crew days, notching up more than a few hits from the golden age of grime onwards.

Whether you’ve been a fan from classic bars featured on DVD packages like Aim High back in grime’s chrysalis period, or more recent collaborative work with world famous producers such as Rustie, when the Newham General touches mic you know it’s game over.

‘Like This’ sees Double jump on one of the highlights from Formula’s f=BASS² compilation this year, as Killjoy’s ‘Turnt Ones VIP’ gets the vocal edit treatment to be converted into a heavy grime riddim for Double to do his thing. Bumping post-funky halfstep drums meet with pure party time disco horns and a heavy kick for the underbelly that does everything but knock over the system in a dance, laying the groundwork for Double to shower down on the beat as only he can.

Taking all pretenders to task, Double spits bars like no other, reminding the scene just how it is he’s never left the top flight, whilst warning newcomers of the skill set and work ethic it takes to be a king in the game, just ‘Like This’. Currently getting spins Mistajam, Logan Sama and the full Formula family, ‘Like This’ comes backed with new full instrumental from Formula badman Killjoy.

‘Like This’ will be available on MP3 and WAV download from 18th January 2016.
