Pugilist & Sub Basics - 20-25

Sub Basics - Untitled 276

An artist with minimal online presence, Commodo is one of an increasingly rare few who make waves through the strength of their music alone.

We immediately found a good working flow together and I can confidently say that we have both been massively influential to each other creatively. Source is our 5th collaborative EP and 10th record together as a production duo and I feel this EP is some of our best work yet!

The title track 'Source' is an ode to the more atmospheric Jungle anthems of innovators Source Direct - with a slightly dubbed out feel, retro aesthetics and nostalgic sampling.
