De La Soul - All Good (SuckaSide Remix) #DeLaSoulRemix25

Strings N Things finds Suckaside exploring new territory—five cuts of dusty, groove-heavy production that move between soulful warmth, late-night grit, and head-nodding breakbeat energy. While the EP steps away from the duo’s signature dancefloor-focused funk and hip-hop sound, their character still cuts through: raw groove, tight drums, and an instinctive feel for rhythm and space.

The journey begins with “From Air,” a deep-cut hypnotic delight. Built around a gritty, swing-heavy drum break and layers of subtly shifting melodic fragments, it slowly evolves as chords, chops, and atmospheric bursts drift in and out of focus. The result is a head-nodding yet emotional track that feels like it could have been pulled straight from a crate of long-lost gems, yet still hits with contemporary weight and warm, lived-in textures. It sets the tone for the EP’s balance of simplicity and depth — a slow-burner, a mood-setter, a track that knows exactly what it is.

“Won’t Go” continues the vibe, leaning into gritty soul, chopped motifs, trap-esque drums, and a steady groove that lingers long after it ends. It moves with confident momentum—never rushing, never overreaching—settling into a pocket that feels instantly lived-in. Melodic fragments weave through the rhythm like half-remembered memories: flickers of harmony, dusted textures, and worn-vinyl warmth. The drums remain the spine—crunchy, unpolished, and unmistakably human—delivering that signature Suckaside grit.

With “Most Mellow,” Suckaside are at their smoothest and most understated. Built around a soft-focus palette of warm chords, gentle textures, and a laid-back rhythmic pulse, the track drifts with effortless calm—never static, but never in a hurry. It’s the sound of lazy afternoons, dust motes in sunlight, and grooves that breathe on their own.

That serenity gives way to the hypnotic shine of “Drip,” driven by crunchy percussion and submerged textures that pulse just beneath the surface. The track stays intentionally murky: echo-soaked fragments, submerged chords, and melodic hints that flicker like neon signs through fog. Minimal in structure but rich in vibe, it lets space do the talking while the rhythm carries everything forward.

“Do It Right” brings the energy back up—funk-drenched, rhythm-forward, and unapologetically groove-heavy. A tight, knocking break anchors the beat while chopped melodic riffs weave through it with playful confidence. Everything feels purposeful yet loose, like a live session caught at exactly the right moment. There’s a clear sense of uplift here: elements bounce, percussion snaps, and the whole production moves with a feel-good swagger that’s infectious without ever becoming overblown. Suckaside keep their signature grit intact—warm saturation, dusty edges, and that unmistakable analog touch—but channel it into one of their most driving, upbeat cuts.

Across all five tracks, Suckaside showcase their diverse production ethos: groove first, ego last. Raw edges, deep pockets, soulful touches, and an instinctive feel for space. Strings N Things is a crate-digger’s delight and a beat-lover’s dream—simple, soulful, and unmistakably Suckaside.
