Yo!

Massive release for you all this week from man like @donsurf - a name you may well recognise, having made an instant impact on the scene earlier this year with a first release on EC2A (alongside Bakey) that sold out almost instantly!

This track is a brilliantly wonky dancefloor destroyer, stylistically sitting somewhere between breaks & UKG (with notes of other influences too). It’s packed with twists & turns, with a really interesting structure that keeps the energy building throughout.

We’re honoured to have him on board, Charlie is a seriously impressive producer & just generally lovely guy who is bound to have big things coming. If you didn’t already know - now you do!

For this week's Free Fuel we are hyped to present this dark 2-step wobbler from our boy Marcus The Marauder! Across the last year, Marcus has been a key player in the Leeds scene, particularly through his involvement with the Northside crew who fuse dark UKG, dubstep and grime instrumentals with top-tier freestyles. Smack the link to grab this one for free.

'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.

Fresh off the heels of our 2nd release - Blue Cookie EP - Gather Records are back with Binary Cuts; four heavyweight steppers guaranteed to dismember any dancefloor courtesy of the dynamic duo: On1 and ZeroFG.

A1 “Push” wastes no time getting into some heavyweight, early 00’s style, rib-shattering bass-weight, whilst “Knee Deep” builds the tension to the absolute maximum before letting loose in the fashion that these guys are all too good at.
Over on the flip, the jittering technoid/proto-dubstep style rhythms of “Vexed” seems as though they’re almost designed to bring out the wiggiest moves from dancers with the B2 cut “Final Round” perfectly closing off the EP with skippy beats and spacey atmospherics perfectly primed for those late hour zoners.

These two talented guys have been right at the forefront of the garage resurgence delivering deep, dark rollers that never fail to make you give the gun finger salute and we're very honoured to have them on the label!
