Erra, Nottingham producer and DJ, joins the L2S Family for his Debut release. With huge support from Whistla, Geiom and Littlefoot, to just name a few, he has risen up through the Future Garage ranks by virtue of his amazingly original productions. First up “Getting Happs” sets the trend with a constantly building tension and rising bass sound, accompanied by one of the sickest beats you will hear. “Babyface” is next, with techy overtones and tuff 2-step beats, this is a masterwork in tech-meets-garage emotive track building. “Favourite Cake” with Littlefoot jointly on the buttons, sees the Nottingham boys on a Cakey adventure into uncharted garage realms. Finally is “Butterz” another track like only Erra can make, techy sounds and syncopated groove make this a surefire winner!

L2S027
L2S label boss (and founding father of the future garage movement) Whistla, returns with another E.P that redefines the boundaries of Future Garage! 4 tracks that are as varied as they are inovative. First up is “Never Again” with huge support both from fans via his radio show and soundcloud page, Whistla’s incredible use of vocal chops, massive bass, a “running man” skippy beat and strings to make your heart melt, kick off the ep. Next up is the all out psychedelic assault that is “London Love Story”, first dropped at Rhythm Factory in East London, this track simply defies description, the future has arrived, and it is intense! Third we have the deep and deadly roller “No-One”, moody strings and a massive sense of space pervade even though the 4by4 influenced future garage rhythm is driving and intense, with bass that makes your chest implode! Finally is “Only Treasure” with huge support from djs across the board, Whistla has managed to fuse old skool synths with up to the minute beats and bass, as well as a sense of uplifting melancholy.
