Local Dub step up to the plate and bring the heat for the second EP of the You&Me Records digital series.

The newly born duo have been hard at work in recent months, delving deeper into their own minds and materialising tuns of fresh material. This package overs 4 killers cuts all suitable for DJ use.

'Hype Funk' opens proceedings, with a strong UK tech house influence breathing through the track, while the killer combination of Josh Baker & Alfie Jack also offer take on the high energy lead track. That then leads us to what would typically be the flip side, with the classy house number 'Hey Toni' accompanied by a futuristic yet timeless sounding breakbeat track 'Dice Rollin''.

Josh Baker - Slippers All Summer (LCS011)

Pre-order >> https://fanlink.to/organ_nuke

Luca Cazal & Josh Baker kickstart Richy Ahmed’s new vinyl focused imprint, Back 2 Black, with a brace of intergalactic tracks.  The new label’s first release also features a remix from British electronic stalwart, Radioactive Man.

Cazal remains a central figure within the house & techno community; his DJ residency at Circoloco is longstanding and releases for labels like Crosstown Rebels, Classic Music Company, his own See Double label, and Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two imprint have marked out his production prowess and ear for a good groove.  Josh Baker has been rising up the ranks over the last few years, with releases for Ben Rau’s META label, Locus and his own You&Me label.

On ‘Organ Nuke’, Cazal & Baker dip into the kind of spacey techno house that was forged by Detroit pioneers Underground Resistance, as funky percussion and organ stabs are coupled with dreamy pads and cosmic tones.  ‘Rocket Ship’ continues these themes, with heavy 909 drums anchoring a cheeky acid bassline and flashes of cosmogonic sound.

British DJ & producer, Radioactive Man, has long since been at the coalface of electronic music’s leftfield.  As one half of Two Lone Swordsman (with the late, great Andrew Weatherall), and multiple aliases for his industrious flow of releases, the revered producer injects a heavy dose of classy electro and Drexciyan vibes into ‘Rocket Ship’.  Rolling breaks unfurl in the electro beats as head scrambling keys and rasping bass stimulate the senses for a funkin’ body poppin’ workout.

Title: Work It Out EP
Label: You&Me Records 
Cat No: YM011
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Work It Out
B1. Pardy Hardy 
B2. Counter House

Josh Baker returns to You&Me Records with maybe his biggest release yet, ‘Work It Out.’

The title track sets the tone for the whole EP, made up of 3 weighty tracks which have been doing the rounds over the last 6 months. The lead track offers a hypnotic vocal hook along with a baseline that you won’t forget. Following on from that Pardy Hardy carries on the peak time club theme with a wobbly bassline combined with all sorts of glitches and playful synth lines. Rounding off the EP is Counter House. This once feels slightly more laid back, with hints of early 2000’s house vibes in there, but still works in them club situations.
