Rollin' vinyl

Getting stuck into a single for Hyperdub as juke and footwork continue to blend into the wider electronic music landscape, DJ Rashad keeps his style true to his roots with rapid fire samples, manic drum patterns and an otherworldly atmosphere. "Rollin" is a bittersweet jam that emotionally pivots on a heartbreak R&B centrepoint, but "Let It Go" soon puts paid to such melancholia with a nod to jungle that finds snappy slices of breakbeat hammering out in a vibe reminiscent of the early days of rave. "Drums Please" builds on that theme with a thrilling jaunt through a moody landscape powered by intricate snare rolls, entering a more adventurous and thought provoking headspace where footwork can show its true potential. Coming full circle, "Broken Hearted" works back into the chopped up balladry of the first track.
