Wish this lasted without that noise interupting the tune

going through the oldies for a few years ago and better than the stuff today from anyone 

Squarehead is the latest young producer to sparkle on Shabby Doll, with his “Bats & Stuff” EP delivering yet more bump and wallop for the discerning house head. Otherwise known as Oliver Ledger, Squarehead is possessed of a precocious talent – his debut “Keep It Moving” EP on Bad Taste was a Juno Download number one, while his records have won hard-earned airplay on Radio One thanks to supporters like Toddla T and Skream – and with DJ appearances across Europe plus his own 5ANDSEVEN label, he's right at the heart of Sheffield's current underground scene.

Squarehead's latest is a collection of crisp house tracks that crackle with a twitching percussive energy and exert a warm bass embrace; titled “Bats and Stuff”, the release features five new tunes built for the dancefloor, including remixes by Shabby Doll fellow travellers Jack Fell Down and Francois Le Roy & Nanni.

- Bats
The melancholic synth pads have the power to tug at your heart – but just wait for the nag of that jumpy, paranoid shriek.

- Bats (Jack Fell Down Remix)
You'll be hooked from the first thump of the kick. Tracks like this are measured in megatons.

- Parrish
A hypnotic looping whistle propels this pulsing tune through seven minutes of good party vibes.

- WRK
Lose yourself in the nod and growl of that stuttering, baritone vocal snip. All right? OK? Yes sir!

- Bats (Francois Le Roy & Nanni Remix)
The title track gets a smooth house refurb fashioned in Milan.

Squarehead is just 20 years old, and one advantage that gives him – among many – is that the memory of first hearing serious dance music on a serious club system is still fresh in his mind. It gave him a new dedication to dancefloor precision, and when you listen to the “Bats and Stuff” EP, you'll hear the results loud and clear. So turn off the lights, get down in the darkness, and let Squarehead help spread your wings...

Wayward x Après - Let Me Tell You

We've got the first spin of 'Work' and it's a straight banger. Expect choppy vocal cuts, crispy percussion and most importantly some wavy synths that cut in and out of focus. More gold from Shadow Child but then again, did you expect any less?

‘Waves & Shapes Vol.1’ will be released on March 25 via Food Music

Pets 24  Squarehead - SoYo EP

Tracklist:

1. Squarehead Those Things You Do
2. Squarehead & Mella Dee - Elevation


Out : 22.10 
http://pets-recordings.com/

Pets Recordings are back with a two track EP from little known Sheffield upstart, Squarehead. Built with the warehouse environment in mind, ‘Those Things You Do’ and ‘Elevation’ draw you in with rolling deep bass, inner-city rawness and classic, foot-shuffling drum patterns. Bringing together traditional dance floor inspired themes with discernibly new school nuances, Squarehead’s offering fits the Pets’ fun, club-centric aesthetic perfectly. 

‘Those Things You Do’ is driven by a simple yet absorbing melody, while fuzzy interference and echoed layering sets out to warm even the bleakest warehouse brickwork. The most refreshing thing about ‘Elevation’ is without question its uplifting, “proper house” vocal. Produced alongside Mistamen’s Mella Dee, its buoyant bass line and UK Garage reminiscent, tribal drum flutters will have you locked to the floor from the first bar.
