Outboxx

Rounding off what has been a busy year for Idle Hands comes a 12″ from west country residents Outboxx. This duo, comprised of Jacob Martin (aka Hodge) and Matthew Lambert have steadily built a reputation for themselves with releases on Well Rounded and Immerse. Moving away from the dominant trends in bass music the pair have been forging a sound more akin to early nineties deep house – yet retaining a palette of 2011 sounds.Here they present two tracks – ‘Aporia’ is a lesson in wistful house, all pianos and a sneeky bass drop half way through the tune. ‘Cromwell’ is a straight ahead house roller, but with enough sub to keep the bass enthusiasts happy.Support so far from Ramadanman and Sven Weiseman.
