Hot on the heels of Volume 2 which dropped in March, Mella Dee and Reuben G get back to work with another grip of bassweight techno indebted to the legacy of Yorkshire bleeps and bass. The first two releases from SY Rockers took a minimal approach which doffed its cap to the stripped-down, original bleep era of the late 80s / early 90s, but this time around the duo take a wider look at other key sounds which evolved from those breakthrough days.

Lead track ‘Mighty’ comes on like another deadly dubwise bleeper in its opening bars, but it quickly opens up with a 4X4 garage shuffle that celebrates even more of the UK’s outsized low-end legacy. Alongside the tuff bump of the beat, you can also hear the looming influence of the Sheffield-centric niche / bassline
sound.

In another switched stance that shows how much inspiration is flowing between Mella and Reuben, ‘Always fwd’ goes in hard on bruk rhythms and a warping square wave b-line that hits a sweet spot between West London broken beat, ‘Pulse X’ grime and dubstep’s king-sized stomp.

Taking a trip back to the raw drum machine grooves and deeper tempo of foundational bleep, ‘Green Skies’ is a meditative finisher to this heavyweight EP which balances mammoth bass with atmospheric vocal samples and synth licks that connect to the enduring soundsystem influence.
