Damian Lazarus signs another classic from the enigmatic DrumTalk, a revered producer who brings in the sublime singing talents of Josa Peit, signed to Brandt Brauer Frick’s label for the invigorating and anthemic ‘Lose Again’.
Championed by Gilles Peterson, Seth Troxler, Midland & Huxley of late and attracting a large, loyal and diverse following from James Holden and Skream, ‘Wildcard’ shows DrumTalk’s sinister sneer, a techno weapon shooting to kill. ‘Gamma’ makes playful experiments with sounds to great effect, a unique and eloquent record that sways with grace.
DrumTalk is an East London-based producer and DJ. Inspiration comes via the musical lineage of London, Chicago, New York and Detroit, Lagos and Accra. Elements of house, techno, bass culture and the rhythms of West Africa and the Caribbean are all to be found here. His productions and remixes for More Music, Sofrito, Soundway, Get Me! and Huntleys & Palmers have been making an impact far and wide, garnering the attention and support of DJs such as James Holden, Jackmaster, Gilles Peterson and Skream, amongst a host of others.
Josa Peit is a Berlin-based singer and musician. Her debut EP is released on Brandt Brauer Frick's label The Gym Records.
