Description
Luke Una introduces a new series of original, dancefloor-focused productions
on his E Soul Cultura imprint, in partnership with Mr Bongo
True to the label's ethos, the series pushes sonic boundaries into deeper, more
expansive territories, delivering forward- thinking music for discerning dancefloors.
The first release brings together UK garage royalty Zed Bias and the underground
talents of MJK , as we're served up a double hit of hypnotic, futuristic techno and
house.
Zed Bias is an artist that needs little introduction. The main moniker of Manchester's
Dave Jones, over the past 25+ years he's cemented himself as a crucial figure in UK
garage and dance music as a whole. He's remixed hundreds of artists including
Whitney Houston, The Streets and Azymuth, been nominated for a MOBO award and,
through his more experimental take on 2 step garage, helped lay the foundations for
the development of bass music into dubstep.
For this new release he teams up with Ghanaian- British producer and DJ, MJK .
Earmarked as 'One To Watch' by DJ Mag, and similarly championed by Mixmag, MJK's
sound draws from the worlds of bass, grime, house and beyond.
Opening track 'Keep On Livin'' sees Zed Bias and MJK coming together in the studio.
Passed to Luke by his manager If Khan, it's a sonic alchemy rooted in black heart soul
music yet seen through a prism of bass futurism. A heads-down cut of driving techno,
with nods to Detroit, and firm UK foundations, that is both bass- heavy and
otherworldly. It's a simple yet effective, entrancing combination of percussion, bass,
and keys, peppered with old soul samples that lock you into a groove and never let go.
A track built for dancefloors big or small.
On the flip, MJK steps up solo with 'Late to Camberwell', diving into deeper, late-night
territory. Known for his three-deck DJ mixing style, MJK has a real understanding of
how to layer elements to keep people moving. A swirling cosmic feel reverberates
through 'Late to Camberwell'. Drum hits, shakers and synth loops are weaved together
in style, creating a dose of deep, immersive rolling house. In Luke's own words, "I
found it very exciting to hear a new artist create such a beautiful sound that reminded
me of Detroit and Artwork's late '90s techno alias Grain. It's stripped-back raw house
music of the highest calibre".
