Various Artists - squares001 / SQR001

Squares have been throwing intimate parties through the London underground for the last several years. For their first record, they’ve curated a VA with close affiliates to capture dark sounds that have left a mark.

On the A1 is Squares co-founder Guzman with 'Tangent', which is stripped back, ethereal and electro-tinged. A2 welcomes Terraflow with 'Clip', showcasing his excellent take on proggy trance influences and infectious rhythms. The flipside starts with Oho's 'Wicked', a pumping, dubby techno roller. Finally, on the B2 is Roto with 'Stormrider' which has hard hitting drums and a bassline full of attitude.
