Full Article → https://www.onthewax.com/sounds/exclusive-label-boss-zefer-presents-his-magical-debut-2-tracker-on-innovative-ukg-startup-steppers-club-otw-premiere

Following a cracking launch EP that showcase their carefully-selected, finely-tuned roster in all it’s glory, exciting UKG startup Steppers Club return with their next celebrated, vintage tinge of nu-skool Garage hedonism. That first acclaimed VA offering, entitled First Steps, which featured label stalwarts Sensa, Oppidan, Minista, Sam Deeley and head-honcho Zefer, saw a metric tonne of support from across the underground, with premieres from us here at On The Wax, a track host from our friends over at The 3000 Network, an exclusive Instagram interview and feature with the guys over at Bass Hive and an in-depth appearance on Meltout Crew’s Reprezent Radio show. All in all, a stellar, groove-infused showing from an incredibly solid, norm-defying platform that’s still very much in its infancy.

Now, and epitomising everything we love about the current UKG revival, label boss Zefer presents his debut 2-tracker, returning to the fold after a slew of sick recent releases, the most recent of which was the locked, stocked and smoking ‘Praise Ya’ drop on Beastwang, who they themselves have overwhelmingly cemented their stance as a real platform to watch, serving up seriously special cuts from the likes of Champion, MPH, Tenshu, Earthnut, Kobe JT, Higgo, Zero and plenty more. 

As its basis, this new 2-track offering from the Steppers Club bossman is uplifting, inherently joyful, sunshine-etched and positively teeming with refined musicality, all facets we instantly look for from both artist and label. Wonderfully adept at working with both original vocalists and carefully-selected, pinpoint samples, the first track sees Zefer utilise the simply gorgeous, velvet vocals of Charlotte Meldrum on ‘Let Me Know’, a 4x4 NUKG lick that provides a sharp glance in that vintage back-mirror, whilst also hammering down that modern aesthetic. It’s stunning writing all round, from both Zefer and Meldrum, with all that flittering, patterned instrumentation providing a gleeful backdrop for the vocals to go to town on.  Has UKG ever sounded so good?

The B-side, ‘Sugar N’ Spice’, is slightly more dancefloor-focused, but it still retains every bit of rhythm, artistic prowess and gilded marksmanship of the aforementioned first track, and we’re delighted to be exclusively hosting it here at OTW. Whereas Meldrum’s vocal hooks take centre-stage on ‘Let Me Know’, Zefer’s keen ear for sampling allows his mesmerising production to full roll out here, experimenting with a plethora of instruments and percs, showcasing his funky aptitude in all its glory. Overall, another stellar showing from both Steppers Club and Zefer - long may it continue.

Zefer - Sugar N' Spice [Steppers Club] [OTW Premiere]

New one from us and the DY!!! Check it out...

BASSLINE BOYS & DYDJz - NANA

The first in a gamut of exciting new releases, head honcho A dot R has pulled no punches with gruff new offering ‘Daft’. In a neat four minutes the seasoned Bassline veteran exhibits his musical flair with a brooding intro, thumping basslines and deft switch-ups, all whilst paying strong homage to the bass-heavy UKG influences that have been ever-present in the Midlands and beyond.

With our collective eyes firmly fixed on that first post-lockdown rave, you’d be absolutely daft to miss this one.

Shapes (Oh Will) [Oppidan Remix]

mix 003 (2015-18 throwbacks edition)

Downplay is proud to welcome back London producer Kells to the label with his brand new release, ‘Flinch’.

‘Flinch’ immediately impresses from its first bars. It’s the kind of uniquely joyful sonic mixture that only UK Garage can really deliver, and Kells is an expert in crafting these pitch-perfect 2-step gems. Sprightly percussion drives the groove, whilst a glittering selection of keys and strings let the melody bloom across the track. In short, UKG heaven.

‘Extra Faff’ toughens up the formulae a little for a broken-beat inspired roller that comes packed with jazz-inflected chords and motifs. Juicy bass stabs take the track direct to the dancefloor, whilst swirling synths provide the atmosphere. A real piece of production expertise that will warm up any set expertly.

One of the hottest names in the scene, Manchester don Yemi delivers a remix masterclass with his take on the title track. Maximising the raw groove of the original with a lazerbeam-like focus, he delivers a techy, percussive roll-out that absolutely slaps on every level.
