If you’ve been reading Truants closely over the past couple of years, you’ll know we’ve sung Manchester-based collective Swing Ting’s praises on a number of occasions. Originally formed as a radio show, Swing Ting now manifests itself as a clubnight and a record label, championing their own productions within UK club and soundsystem culture. The nights tend to swamp Soup Kitchen with bashment, dancehall, azonto, soca, hip-hop, RnB and grime. Amongst the residents are integral characters Balraj Samrai and Ruben Platt, who’ve also been major proponents of Swing Ting as a label. Brackles, Fox, Trigganom, Famous Eno and Madd Again! - a collaboration between Zed Bias, Killa Benz, Specialist Moss and Trigga - have all featured on the label, as have productions from Samrai and Platt themselves. We premiered “Bad Riddim” back in March, a weighty instrumental backed with the Trigganom-featuring earworm “One Step”. Knowing how capable the pair are on the decks as well as in the studio, we figured it was high time we asked them for a Truancy Volume - what we didn’t know was how outrageous the end result would be. There’s no other way to put it, Samrai and Platt fully throw down in the mix and they’ll leave you feeling wavy for days.
