Cromby

Cromby knows a Chunker that’s for sure. His contribution to the label is elite. Rinsed by the pair all year, it’s supports also include Job Jobse and Bambounou. In January it highlighted Nachtiville, where it was played all weekend long and became an unofficial hype anthem of the festival. A fiercely hunted track I.D ever since, lock this in as one of those catchy Crombyclassics we all love and can’t stop playing (and singing). Pump It is an atmospheric roller, a perfect cut for maintaining the energy after the hands-up vibes of House Flava. ‘Free’ features Cromby’s own vocal debut – I didn’t realise at the time of writing how fitting the lyrics would be for our times unfortunately, he shares. Driven by punchy purring bass, it brings plenty of rugged energy with 303 flourishes, while dreamy keys balance things nicely. One for the after-hours.

The EP is rounded out with the wicked hoover-led Best Not Miss, that transports us back to a steaming Trade dancefloor circa 1997 and is thrilling in every sense.
