Big room heaters from a pair that’s stock is on the rise. Landing via Mainframe Audio, Two Shell’s Icons EP comes after packed out shows across the UK and an unforgettable Glastonbury set.
AikJ – PHA$E
Irish-Nigerian artist AikJ returns with his new three track EP. Speaking on the record he says, “It speaks from a perspective of someone trying to make sense of the new feeling of companionship. Being so accustomed to a life of self, it becomes a hard adjustment to cater to someone else’s needs. The urge to always be around that person and dependent on their energy to fuel yours, becomes foreign upon analysis. But never wanting this new experience to end.”

Grime icon D Double E returns with 7 new tracks that feature verses from Novelist and Chip and production from Swindle.
Moor Mother
