Australia-based Entasia and Manny’s own SHUFFA may have made this double-dipper from opposite sides of the world, but they find common ground in fast organ house and their shared rough and rowdy ways. “Got U Groovin’” is uplifting without rotting your teeth, as arena-sized synth and piano melodies helix around each other. The vocal hook teases the boast of a title, but just as you think the high point is through, the melody digs deep and draws a euphoric second wind. Meanwhile, the off-beat springing of “Pacemaker” can send hearts into overdrive, especially with its sashaying organ and the sounds of record scratches, bed squeaks and wind-sweeping lasso.

Entasia & SHUFFA - Got U Groovin'

For ec2a’s Digital-Only Series, Bristol’s bass buccaneers Dual Monitor continue their run of tech-dembow monsters that have the chilling atmosphere and venomous mechanics of a sci-fi horror flick. The sounds on “Rise Up” are techy, gelatinous and they deploy circular hits of atmosphere as coldly as Darth Vader’s breath. But when it wheelspins from a breaks intro to their signature bounce, it’s all systems go. You’ll latch onto the tune of clanging metal from the moment it reaches your ear, right through to the track’s airtight final drop, which squeezes wiping bass into the mix. Wear a gas mask to the dance, but you’ll still succumb to their dark, contagious swing.

PREORDER: https://bouki.bandcamp.com/album/studio-5-ep

Dayshift co-founder and Chinese Laundry resident Bouki is on the cusp of releasing his long-awaited debut EP 'Studio 5'. Featuring a series of five tracks proudly written and mastered in Gadigal Land/Sydney's Rikota Studios. The EP is a clear and confident ode to the context in which it was written, featuring the studio's monitors by local audiophiles Translate Audio, and in Rikota's own colour scheme.

'Flow', premiered here, is a large and bumping collaboration with Naarm/Melbourne-based producer Trustee. Punchy 808s are matched with a wobbling bassline paying homage to Bouki's UK heritage.

Of the track, Bouki shared:

“We’ve made a few tunes together now and had initially intended to put another one on the EP, but 'Flow' came together very naturally during two sessions when Tate was up visiting last month and is our favourite track we’ve made together so far.”

Bouki performs this Saturday, September 6 at Chinese Laundry to launch the EP alongside Trustee, Bella Bella and fellow resident Obeido.

'Studio 5' is set to release with a new single every fortnight, until it drops in full on Friday, October 31.
