It’s been a pretty spectacular start for Hybrid Theory’s brand new self-titled label, having notched up three very well received two track projects in a pretty short space of time. So far we have seen the Birmingham based duo showcase a pretty wide spectrum of bass music from around the UK and beyond, with this latest addition to the catalogue continuing that theme with three more belters.  

We kick off this project with a dive into the title track ‘Move Slow’, something very different from anything previously released on the HT imprint. The pair sweep this one down a more mellow route from the off, combining pleasing chord plucks and keys with a catchy vocal tone, squeezed between tidy old school garage style drumwork and moody substructures below.  

Next, collaboration season opens up as Snipez joins the party on ‘Teen Cheer’. This one again takes us down a much more garage inspired route, gluing together groovy melodic twists and pulsating 2-steppy rhythms to gift us an absolute gem in any DJ’s selection.  

Finally, we round the EP off with ‘No Way’, the perfect sign off. For this one, the Hybrid boys bring in the sounds of Martin Green to turn the clock back with a seriously nostalgic UKG twist up. The drums are catchy, the grooves are playful and the overall vibe is just a joy to take in.  

The garage influences throughout this one are very clear, again showcasing Hybrid Theory’s incredible versatility within dance music!
