Chris Boyle’s much anticipated debut EP combines the talent across Scotlands dance scene stretching from Inverness with Mark Mackenzie to Edinburgh with Macka and finally Glasgow home of the renowned  Jackie Knows Karate Records as Chris puts his stamp on his sound in a 5 track record packed with summer bangers. Still Not Discovered Yet is an impressive debut for the local Edinburgh producer who is garnering support from the industries best selectors including the likes of Skream and Jackmaster. The record comes as the labels twentieth in a line of impressive club influenced releases. Hands in the air piano lines mix with hypnotic vocals to bring Still Not Discovered Yet to life.

N.N.Y. is the first example of Chris’ talents as a producer with catchy piano melodies combining with ear pleasing pads and vocal hook asking us to ‘come inside’ which is the perfect intro to the record. N.N.E. captures our attention with an iconic Soulsearchers sample which is later given the remix treatment by the hugely talented Macka. N.S.S is a tribute to the old school with warm string synths, house pianos and breakbeat fills to close out the EP after being given the Mark Mackenzie treatment with a darker dub take on the record.

AK SPORTS - ‘Polarize' EP PR
Out Now
Gallery Recordings
GLRY003

In challenging times you confide in the things you love. Us folk at Gallery love releasing music and we love our friends who make it. Enter GLRY003 and AK SPORTS (Madi Carr), an EP beaming with energy. ‘Polarize’ has brunt and might, it encourages a loss of inhibitions, sweat and to dance however the hell you like! 

Forever championing womxn and non-binary people in the music industry, Madi has gifted us tracks on ‘Polarize’, that’ll have people from all walks of life eager to rave as one. Having commanded the airwaves of UK tastemaker station Balamii, alongside folks such as Chaos In The CBD and Ross From Friends, Madi’s had a brilliant platform to share underground tunes with the masses. This certainly isn’t AK SPORTS first foray into release land either, having piqued the interest of labels both locally and in the Eurozone. Imprints like Of Leisure, Tooflez Musik (Berlin) and Start Local Records (UK) have been chuffed to press her tracks. 

There's a nice spread on ‘Polarize’, a full range of emotions, from the injection of dubstep styled low ends, playful, light percussive and vocal tones of UK Garage and driving nods to techno and uplifting jacking house. Lovers of breaks, bass and sharp percussion, this one’s for you. The opener ‘A Flash Storm (And Then It Was Gone)’ is a menacing recipe of tech stabs and clapping breaks. A2 ‘Houdini’ is a brief reprieve from the wee hours, a shimmering and uplifting roll of synth. Flipping over comes ‘Dit Quelque Chose’, a reappropriating of the breakbeat AKS we already know and love. Translated into English meaning ‘say something’, Madi uses myriad of drums as the driving force for the track. The result, a personal and cathartic release. A comment on that anxious, silent air between two people wrapped in a feud and the insecurity that manifests. No samples here either, Madi happens to be bilingual. Then there’s ‘Tank Girl’, a fun and ultra bold serving, an experimental nod to a spectrum of UK underground club styles. A record that possesses an inherent drive to get out and cause a stir! Be sure to glimpse the official video. With two more offical vids dropping in August!!
