London based duo Codec came to the forefront of the scene late last year after their EP on Black Butter Records rose to the top of the Juno charts and surpassed all expectations. Codec's sound and style is deeply rooted in the realms of bass music, with a strong sense of UK garage blended with 90's house. Along the way their dancefloor designed sound has gained them support from tastemaker DJs such as T.Williams, Foamo, Gorgon City, Rudimental, Laurent Garnier, Breach, Monki amongst many more.

Forthcoming on WRHSmusic, the brand new label co-run by Unit7 is Codec's new 'Is It Something' EP available for download on 30th September via Beatport. Second release in and WRHSmusic have already been championed by Clash, Mixmag, Data Transmission, Daily Street, SBTV and more, and we can expect WRHS002 to follow in similar footsteps.

Opening the EP with a club ready record, Codec step things up with leading track 'Is It Something'. The trickling hi-hats and classic M1 organ tones and carefully layered with atmospheric synths, recreating and capturing everything we know and love about classic 90's dance music. Up next 'No More (1998)' enters with a pounding bassline and driving force which tackles things head on. Last but not least, 'Everyday' rounds the EP off perfectly with its clipped vocals, twinkling keys and throbbing bass.

Now the duo have their status firmly set we can look forward to hearing much more from this breakthrough pair who continue to represent UK talent in their own wonderful way. In the next few months Codec have gigs lined up at The Nest (Dalston), Coalition (Brighton), Sub Soul (Ibiza), Space Ibiza plus many more.

Codec - Is It Something

Introducing Unit7, a reinterpretation of dance music where futurism and nostalgia are no longer distinct. Their WRHSmusic imprint represents everything they stand for, tunes that bring people together wherever in an environment with cause to forget the outside world for those early hours and move to a beat... until they cant move anymore. 

Mark and Luke have lived the UK music scene from a young age, and have latched their allegiance to the thing they love most; music made for warehouses big and small that unite people with a groove and a shared imperative to dance together. It’s a vision that pushes the boundaries without restrictive pigeonholes, whilst giving a respectful nod to the foundations of the entire electronic music scene.

“If there’s anything were trying to say its that electronic music in all its form is built for a purpose, and DJing is a responsibility. Its not always about proving a point, its not for ego and forced appreciation, it’s a responsibility to help people understand why producers produce, why labels release and why bloggers blog. We know what makes people dance and fall in love with music, because we do too, every day and every night, and we want to share that purism with everyone we are lucky enough to play to”

Upcoming releases share this outlook. Each forthcoming track is crafted for the dancefloor, drawing on their favourite elements of electronic music past and present with remixers that support this ethic.

“We love the idea of making an album, but right now we are focussed on the dancefloor, WRHSMusic is designed to delver just that which is what we are striving to do – its in the name so to speak!”

Having played around the world under a previous alias, reactions have always played a front seat role in their musical output, which is what has lead to this reinterpretation. Whilst time goes on, artists come and go and names change, their outlook has done neither and Unit7 is a pledge of allegiance to this simple mantra. Long live the beat, the good times and the dancefloor.
