The debut release on brand new imprint we_ctrl features solo tracks and a collaboration from
Manchester duo and label founders Tomson & Benedict.

Having worked together for a little less than 5 years, the pair embrace their similarities and
distinctions to great effect. Tomson with his trippy garage DNA and Benedict with his chuggy, tracky, 
chord led constitution, blend together into the kind of house, garage and techno they are known for.

The A side is the collaboration. 'Switch' is a straight forward slab of solid house music which builds
and builds on a simple groove to a peak of splashy rides, hypnotic melodies and sternum punching
bass.

The B side is where the Tomson & Benedict DNA code is split into their own solo cuts.
Benedict's 'Automatism', is full of warm sounds applied in the aggressive fashion, so endemic
through his solo productions. Tomson's 'Time for Change' features straight up solid lows and game
changing dancing highs with classic house chords throughout. This is the journey track if there ever
was one.

The wait will not be too long for the next instalment either. Solo EP's from the two will feature
before the autumn end featuring remixes from their favourites of the moment, Fulbert and Medlar.

Closing the release we have ‘Sequincing’, low-slung and spacey, the vibe is loop centric with minute subtleties in automation painting the bigger picture for its duration where refined reverb tails and filter modulations create a beautifully flowing dynamism.

Really happy to get a BBC Radio 1 play for my new track ‘Next to Her’ last night – credit to Radio 1 for committing peak (ish) air time to underground music too, the In New DJs We Trust is consistently brilliant. Nice one for the support, DJ Mosca!
