VIVIDLY

@nahm8

Bridging his last few years in Shanghai and his first couple in the U.S., the debut EP on Gully Riddim from the now New York-based Naaah leans into the sorts of bright, playful melodies that have become a characteristic of his music, all the while keeping in place harder-edged, percussive club sounds. Operating at and just above the 100bpm mark, the tracks channel post-Bala Club sonics as well as tuffer drum trax, but with a shifting mood across the EP. With its subtle nods to trap dancehall, opener "Environs" sounds like it would be equally at home in Portmore as it would a London basement rave, while "Ta Me Duck" is just pure exuberance. Hitmakerchinx-indebted "Thx Ross" then pays tribute to a Shanghai club scene stalwart, before "Pilipala" dives deep into a nimble dancefloor workout.

Joining from South Korea and Japan respectively, dBoi! and Keito both up the tempo for their remixes but take the originals in radically different directions, with the former offering an expansive take on "Environs" underpinned by lurching 808s. The TYO Gqom member, meanwhile, lives up to his party's ethos, adding drums worthy of a Durban taxi to "Ta Me Duck" but maintaining — and twisting — its ear-worm melody to create a fresh take on the South African genre. Gully Riddim co-boss Zean then rounds out the release with a crystalline interpretation of "Pilipala" primed for — initially at least — eyes-down club moments.
