North London producer Lazy H has been working behind-the-scenes for years as a producer, multi-instrumentalist, engineer and songwriter. Releasing his own material for the first time, his debut EP is a vibrant fusion of misbehaving electronics and exotic samples that draws as much inspiration from modern electronic artists like Sam Gellaitry and Photay as it…
London-based producer Haich releases new track ‘Peak’, described as “a sonic journey reflecting the emotional ups & downs in an individual’s mind whilst being a long distance from someone or something they’re emotionally attached too.” Written by Haich on a trip to LA, the track builds and builds before dropping off; ditching the majority of…
‘Area Code’ is a confident debut album from young British producer +44RAPTURE. It’s a twelve track affront from twisting, stabbing synths that sit above a bedrock of bass-heavy, deeply percussive beats. Think Sam Gellaitry meets Klimeks. “For me, Area Code has been a massive highlight in my life for the past year and a half…
“I made ‘Trauma’ after messing around with a bunch of vocal samples to see what happened,” producer Model 86 told XLR8R. “It’s called ‘Trauma’ because I was messing around making up lyrics for what the vocal edits/noises became—the first word she says sounds like ‘trauma’. I actually had a version of the track that replaced…

Greyhat rounds off 2017 with new track ‘In The Wall’; a quietly brilliant new track that sees the producer incorporate guitars into his synthy signature sound. It’s unassuming, but it’s lead melody is surprisingly catchy. Stream the new track from the Portland, Maine beatmaker [who lists Crash Bandicoot among his influences], below via Spotify, click…
British producer Haich releases in the shape of ‘Stone’, a new track which sees him possibly at his most experimental. Breezy, incomprehensible backing vocals accompany his lead, atop an up-tempo beat. That is, until the whole thing falls away to reveal a slightly more sinister, creeping bassline. Think DIY Mount Kimbie and you’re halfway there. Stream…
San Francisco producer Nobl is perhaps best known for his production as part of F.A.M.E (Fresh Analog Music Experience) with Teeko and MaxKane, but already with one solo album under his belt he continues the flow of new solo material with ‘Lacuna’. Beginning with sultry horns courtesy of Adam Theis of Jazz Mafia and mellow…
