Next up for UK garage’s perennial outsider is an album for Locked On under his Phuturistix moniker (due for release late summer), followed by a period of sustained work on a new project with Italy’s DJ Rocca: Da Luq. It’s the latter that he’s clearly the most excited about, explaining that it will signal a return to the days of speaker-busting heaviness - albeit with a more musical edge.
“We did five days of recording last week, and the stuff we’ve done sounds great”, he enthuses. “They’re club-oriented tracks, with the same amount of jump-uppiness as one of Zinc’s Bingo tracks, but with this jazz fusion thing going on. There are bits of flute, lots of soundtrack noises and stuff. It’s more edgy, funky and heavy than the other stuff that’s coming out. It’s heavy, it’s loud and it’ll scare your granny!”
