3 Feet Deep’s third release takes off with a dynamic 2 stepper by D-Elite, who cleverly samples dial tones to make a smooth pad and pays tribute to Pirates Radio & Tower Block Dreams on the vocals. Next, Pépé Elle, resident of the label, is here this time with his good friend CleS, forming a dynamic beat/bass combo. The track “Instinct Primaire'' blends Pépé’s wobbles and dark sounds with CleS’s jazzy roots. The clarinet is taking us upon a mystical journey. Rising producer Dominus closes off the A side with his “Jungling Sound,” built around a reese bassline and spacey shakers for an excursion into the deep and old school flavours. Finally, B side brings Zero FG & Peaky Beats together, each delivering a spacey, atmospheric track of their own. Zero FG’s powerful lead and captivating vocals in “Just a Groove'' sets the scene up for the nostalgic tone Peaky Beats’s guitar creates jumping in and out throughout the track.
3FD004 brings together two friends from Denmark for a split EP built around UK bass sounds with strong dubstep and UK garage influences.
Easy Touch (JONGPADAWAN’s fresh new ID) starts off the A-side with “Aerosol”—the voodoo-ish windswept voicy lead and the italo-birds are singing along with the sleek 2-step beat and the slow resonating sub. A2 “Vertikal'' speeds up the intensity: the punchy drums combined with the powerful steady bassline are hitting us right where they should while the vocal sample and the stabs are spreading an euphoric groove.
On the flip side, DJ I.D transports us into his dark universe. With a rolling beat, a crispy snare, and roaring bassline stabs, the B1 “Just Let It Happen” inhales and exhales a mysterious energy. To close the EP, the Danish artist is remixing himself, combining the heavy drive of DJ I.D with the hearty touch of DJ Sports.
