The penultimate instalment of the much feted Autonomic Podcast series, layer 11, is up at www.club-autonomic.com
In my humble/misguided/wrong opinion its one of the finest of the series, showcasing a lot of the new 120-130bpm bits that Loefah (among others) has been pushing of late, for reference check out his set from Outlook that was on Benji B’s 1Xtra show.
The influences are particularly brilliant, as always a superb insight into why D-Bridge and Instra:mental are the most relevant and innovative producers of recent years.
On a related note, the next offering from the offshoot label, also called Autonomic, is the sublime opener from the duo’s Fabric Live compilation, ‘Seems Like’ by Riya. A perfect representation of the Autonomic sound, soulful vocals steadily build beautiful melodies over a luscious beat. This sounds like a number one in a perfect world, and is one that even your Grandma could appreciate.
A classic stripped back effort from Skream on the flip offers Riya a superb platform to breathe life into the bare bones beat of ‘The Cycle’ and showcase her incredible vocal talent. This is one is one you might have heard on mixes a while back, and ensures that this release is as essential as the Podcasts. This will sell out, so don’t sleep!
