ON OUR RADAR

Welcome back to On Our Radar, a weekly music feature where the Reform team select their hottest tracks of the week. This time we’re exploring the genres of Bass, Ambient, Rap, Funky and more!

EARTH BOYS 

Earth Boys are back with their second release of 2MR Records. Rooted in the rave culture of NYC, ‘DITTIES’ is a personal account of the pair’s musical journey and inspirations over the years. The intro track ‘We Didn’t See the End’ tells the story of their first memories of producing and promoting in the early noughties in New York, moving across to tracks such as ‘KIM 3.6’ which emphasises how they have been on the scene for decades. 

BLUETOOF

We have been keeping a watchful eye on Bluetoof ever since he played at our lovely resident’s event, Great Danes, a few months ago. Mixmag premiered it on their Soundcloud, and that’s usually enough to catch our attention. This bass-heavy stomper is now available to purchase on his debut label, Infra Red, so head over to his Bandcamp now and treat your ears!

JAWINO 

Jawino is opening up our minds one soundscape at a time with four-track EP ‘4040’. Smooth lyrical flow partnered with dream-like instrumentation makes for a perfect pair and sets him in his own genre of contemporary Rap. If you don’t know him, get to know.

MUTE CITY 

Mute City’s latest release ‘Total Resignation’ blossoms into a beautiful sonic butterfly, wavering between polymetric Minimal Techno, glitchy Lo-fi and ominous modular melodies. Rich in texture, depth and narrative, each track glides effortlessly into one another. We highly recommend it!

SLUMBERJUNKIE

London-based producer, DJ and composer Slumberjunkie has just released ‘Never Understand’ EP on Silver Bear Recordings and its vibrant, dancey and bass-heavy. Over the past few years, he’s been playing alongside DJs such as Ross From Friends and Cameo Blush. Now, he sheds limelight onto who he is as a solo artist with four perfectly crafted tracks.
