Heavy bass and up-front, gritty vocals guide us through a contemporary hip hop landscape that is the title-track and introduction to Blue Velvet Cake.
EPs
The Escape Artist EP is imaginative, confident, shiny, layered, complex and stunningly produced, played and mixed. When something like this comes along, it’s time to sit up and take notice.
Meandering bass, keys and psychedelic layers of immersion – Jorge Mujica takes listeners down a nostalgic, dreamy pathway of expression.
Creative production and a genre-blending, conceptual introduction lay bare the No Bondom voice and scene-setting ability with ease as Geronimo, The EP kicks into gear.
Adopting one of song-writing’s most poetically compelling explorations of desire, this cover of Essence pours new life into the single.
Marsh utilises profoundly intelligent bars, complex poetry & observations that feel genuinely new & appear to roam the very edges of hardship in the all but forgotten corners of society.
Songwriter, producer and devotedly conscious rapper Naveed Razzak – known on the scene as Navigator – leads with professionalism, passion and a strong work ethic throughout a handful of original releases.
The two-track EP that is Constant Glances kicks off with a likably genuine drum-line, a rising and falling bass, and a shoegaze-style voice that distantly injects a sense of story and intrigue.
Easily the most versatile, eclectic project from Ivy so far, and musically a definite highlight given the natural connection between the soundscapes and the grit and passion of the voice.
Lake Nights proudly go where few other producers and artists dare to – the realms between genres, the creative worlds that require a level of fearlessness and a boldly open mind.
Quickly igniting nostalgia for the nights of electro-swing and ambient after-parties, lost in the music and the moment – producer Misso keeps things eclectic yet comforting with this short collection of original grooves.
Superb, boldly addictive in energy and style, honest and open, focused on strengths but unafraid to showcase weaknesses in the details – a perfectly titled project.
