sophie kisa bunch of heaters Favorite track: Tribal Drums.

put the cat again Heavy amapiano here. Pepper has a wobbly syncopated bassline that would be at home in a Kode9 or Coki track. Tribal drums is well named, vocal samples, white noise risers and percussion support one long drum solo. The bassline on genesis is exquisite, such attack pushing it forwards. All these tracks are at home on the dancefloor, can't wait to drop them. Favorite track: Genesis.

about

Following last year’s The Link Up EP with DJ Polo, London club music veterans Tribal Brothers return to Livity Sound with four tracks of taut, high-impact drum science.

Given LR Groove and Razzlerman’s long-standing legacy within UK Funky and many other genres, it’s no surprise to hear the distinctive, shuffled 4/4 thrust behind the tracks on Formation EP. Reflecting the wide-open dialogues taking place between global dance cultures, the duo once again draw on a variety of international styles and fold them into their productions. You might notice touches of harder rave-rooted soundsystem music, but there’s also a pronounced influence from across the spectrum of Afro house. They namecheck amapiano artists Virgo Deep, Felo Le Tee and Kabza De Small, Afro house titans Black Motion and Black Coffee and Gqom pioneer DJ Lag as sources of inspiration.

Fusing these touchstones with their own steeped history in London-rooted club sounds, their end product comes out as a self-described blend of “hard-hitting bass lines, complex drum patterns and African chants,” effective in their live ‘decks n’ drums’ shows as well as in their productions.

My whole body agrees with the pace of this short but solid track list. A generous helping of acoustic rhythm samples ignited by breakbeats add extra attention to full range movement on the dancefloor. Not a beat wasted. cherub420

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
