LAKSA

Hessle Audio welcome Laksa to the label with three tracks of rowdy and forward-thinking dance music, following his last release on Timedance in September.On the A-side, 'Fire Kit' sees the London-based producer and DJ approaching his sound from a different direction, with dancehall infused percussion offset by enveloping layers of sub-bass warmth at 95bpm.The B side jacks up the tempo with a raucous energy as the temperature drops to below freezing. Basslines rumble in 'Belly Brocka' and 'T's Tent' like an approaching storm and snares lash through the mix like ice picks, with the broken rhythmic energy driving the dance forward in 2021 and beyond.Running the club night and monthly NTS show 're:lax' with re:ni, Laksa has been consistently pushing bass mutations since his early EPs on Beneath's Mistry label. A Bristol bass bobbler at heart, his hybrid sound has found a home on many respected labels such as Timedance, Ilian Tape and Whities, cementing his place amongst the latest UK talent.
