Surplus – Body Gal

A funky little number from Surplus full of feel-good garage vibes with an almost housey-summer touch. A well-rounded skippy 4×4 beat coupled with a full organ-led stabby melody. Some nice additional vocal licks are thrown in too.

T2 – Heartbroken (Cal & Happen 2Step refix)

I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with the original T2 – Heartbroken. I loved the bassline on it, I often found myself humming the melody… but I just wasn’t a big fan of the vocals. Admittedly they made the track. It wouldn’t have been the same without them but… So I was a little dubious […]

B1G PROJ3CT – Blaze It Up

The B1G PROJ3CT are back with this wicked little 2-step roller. A fresh sound giving a familiar feeling. The 2-step beats are tight and nicely produced, a well rounded bassline and few melodic chords thrown into the mix make this one a little bubbler. The vocal licks provide more energy.  This is one of those […]

Blackwell – Make Me Feel ft. Nicole Jackson

Blackwell is a house / garage collective from Cambridgeshire and this is their debut single, “Make Me Feel”. This bumpy little 2-stepper is reminiscent of the summer. A skippy 2-step beat and a bumpy organ-led bassline works well. The vocals come courtesy of Nicole Jackson who previously featured on Redlights top 20 single, ‘Get Out My Head’. […]
