Bleep

Legendary London noisemakers IG Culture and Alex Phountzi of Bugz In The Attic form as NameBrandSound and fire off a strong EP for Technicolour. Opener ‘Name Brand Ah Murdah’ sets the tempo with some fiery dancehall-tinged footwork. ‘Spell On Me’ hypnotises with relentless, bouncy 808-drum work, a longing RnB loop, and a dazzling synth light show at the halfway point. ‘Hip Thruster’ sports a hip-hop sample and Southern-style triple-time hats for those with a taste for the rugged, while dreamy closer ‘Gigolos’ soothes with no dip in energy.
