The 420 Lockdown, Whistla

I’ve been most excited this year by the work of a record label called L2S, which was founded by a DJ and producer called Whistla. They’ve coined the term “future garage” to describe their new and interesting take on UK garage music. Not many people know this but I’m a secret garage boy; Southampton garage music is in my blood. The label has released tons of singles and EPs this year but my top three would be “Love Rhythm” by Sentinels, which blends UK garage and old-school rave; “Tokyopop” by Submerse, which mixes UK garage with Japanese pop music and finally, “The 420 Lockdown” by Whistla himself.

Release date: 1st Feb 2010

Details:

Duncan Powell :: Came Into View E.P

Came Into View // Hold You // Wombat Nite // Need Love

L2S017

Duncan Powell, the nu-skool garage master, has gone all future garage! Trust us when we say this collection of tracks will be one of the defining releases of 2010. With support from; Whistla, MJ Cole, Sunship, Elski and loads more, these are 4 tracks that will shape the future of garage as we move into the new decade!
First up is title track and MJ Cole favourite “Came Into View” a lush and richly atmospheric garage/dubstep/rnb crossover track, showing just what is possible with the half step beat signature. Next is “Hold You” a track that L2S had to fight to sign due to the number of labels interested in signing it, we won! and are happy to present this Future Garage masterpiece. Continuing the trend on the ep of huge atmospherics, melodies and funky sub bass Hold You is a hypnotic rollercoaster ride through Duncan’s vision of Future Garage. 3rd we have “Wombat Nite” a track that has been moving djs and ravers since it was mailed out to a lucky few djs, smoothly blending half step and 2 step beat signatures with huge spacey strings and stabbing melodies and sub bass to create a whole new aestetic and approach to arrangement. Finally we have the beautiful “Need Love” a cry in the darkness for all those looking for love, excellent vocal treatments and slick 2 step beats along with a simply next level bass line make this perfect for the 4am crowd.
