Heavy Hitter EP

Heavy Hitter (Extended Mix)

Paco Osuna's record label Mindshake welcomes a house focused EP from UK artist Ben Sterling.

Based in London, Ben Sterling is a talented DJ and accomplished producer who is well-known for his groove-laden tracks on labels ranging from Jamie Jones' Hot Creations to Eats Everything's Edible.

After starting his career as a Ministry of Sound resident when he was only 18, Ben Sterling has since travelled the world to play clubs such as DC10 in Ibiza and large events like The BPM Festival in Central America.

Ben Sterling has proven himself to be one of house music's most exciting young artists with music often championed by the likes of Marco Carola, The Martinez Brothers and Patrick Topping.

"Durh Brain" opens the release with its stripped back style, which fuses a rubbery acid-line with captivating vocal phrases and hypnotising rhythms. "Peeps in De Back" is another acid-tinged track with a jackin' groove and shuffling hi-hats, plus hip hop influenced vocal samples. "Whats The News" closes out the EP with its breakbeat percussion loop and timeless old school flavour.

Releasing music for nearly a decade, recent months have seen Gould make waves with releases on labels such as Lost Records, Lapsus and Snatch! whilst picking up support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Riva Starr and Supernova. The rising British talent now joins the Solid Grooves roster, appearing next to producers such as Wade, Dennis Cruz, David Pher, not to mention label founders PAWSA and Michael Bibi.

‘I’m Feelin’ Good Right Now’ is percussive and intricate from the off, meandering forward using infectious drums before introducing a spoken word sample and a cacophony of rhythmic elements. ‘All About Good Times’ then brings in a rumbling bassline and suspenseful soaring synths whilst piercing vocal cries erupt sporadically throughout the mix.

Next up with their debut release on Hot Creations’ sister label Emerald City are former college roommates Josh Taylor and Justin Jay. An energetic track full of bounce and edgy samples, Pussy Pop is an ideal addition to the label’s young venture. Bringing his signature dance floor rhythm, Jamie Jones has delivered high quality on the remix with a fun acompaniament to the original.
 
Josh Taylor began his musical career in his hometown of St Louis, Missouri. Starting out as an acoustic pop artist strumming at his ukulele and songwriting, his laid back attitude (and discovery of nightclubs) led him down a path of exploration through music genres. His unique approach to writing hooks and basslines is apparent across the board, from his band The Cozy Boys to his previous collaboration with Justin Jay on the exceptional Fantastic Voyage album.
 
In response to how the two of them came to collaborate, Justin answered “When we were roommates in college, Josh opened me up to the world of singing and songwriting through his jams on the ukulele while I started dragging him to clubs and warehouse parties. He inspired me to take a stab at my own singing/songwriting and I pushed him to try DJing/production.” 
 
The head of his own label Fantastic Voyage and one of the youngest producers to release on Dirtybird, Justin has already seen success that extends beyond his years. With an array of fruitful releases under his belt, the LA based producer/DJ has received support from the likes of Claude VonStroke and Disclosure, boasting “Future Star” recognition by the influential Pete Tong. Justin manifests his soul, funk and jazz routes in a forward-thinking manner that yields his unmistakable house tracks.
