Low Rise

Broken beat’s legacy is one that’s easy to miss if not given ample TLC. Just a quick bat of the eyelids, and one of the capital’s most exciting movements can flash by. A movement that inadvertently nudged soul and boogie through the early 2000s in its own way. A movement that fed on the best parts of jazz, soul and electronica and left a lot of goodness in its wake.

The producers behind 2000black are some of its main powerhouses. Established in 1998 by Dego, the likes of multi-instrumentalist Kaidi Tatham and musical director Akwasi are key ambassadors of the sound.

After a 2014 that spawned beauties like Darkest Pumpkin‘s “Let It Be/That Feeling” and March’s Lordamercy they’re back. They resurface with three new tracks – each of which are strong nominees for Debuts. “Make It Hard” was the office shoo-in. The type of track to instantly make heads knock back and forth like nodding Churchill dog playthings. Jovial polyrhythms galore, the allure of soothing rhodes and all bundled on top of a slick bass underbelly.
