22 year old hackman has been one of the most rewarding artists to emerge from the uks ever-shifting dance music landscape in recent years. debuting in 2010 with sublime singles for ramp offshoot ptn (more than ever, made up my mind), and more recently releasing an ep for greco roman featuring the magnificent close, followed by agree to disagree for ptn, hackman has won fans across the board, from nick grimshaw to mary anne hobbs to skream, and the gilles peterson approved forgotten notes. currently in the studio working with a series of vocalists for his upcoming debut album scheduled for release on ramp later this year, hackman drops a 12 inch, of hazy summer vibes with fists of ham, backed with a broken techno remix from fourth wave artist felix lenferink for 2084 records.

carrying on from the success of their last release from artifact, deadplate records present hackman & blutos what matters. what matters is a bouncing house track with a weighty bass line, sure to waken up any dance floor and perfectly timed for the summer. marimba vibes keep this track bubbling along with an addictive and strong melody that has become unanimous with hackmans style. james fox creates a powerful 4/4 remix on the flip, stripping back the original and bringing a mid-90s uk garage flavour to the table. a real powerhouse on the dance floor, this is one of the strongest pieces of work from one of the uks most exciting house producers. supported by rob da bank, ma1, west norwood cassette library, guy andrews, midland, goldffinch, artifact, thefft

uk house favourite hackman has teamed up with one of the most promising producers around, bristols tessela, on a single of heavily swung garage, with more than just a touch of el-b in both the drums and the bassline. audio culture will be releasing it backed with a presk mix.
pressing on green vinyl, white marbled.

following the huge success of his recent close single - which thanks to a nick grimshaw single of the week, support from annie mac and skream & benga, and even a play on the chris moyles show, threw the 21 year olds bedroom productions to the front everybodys collective consciousness - hackman returns with his follow up, and first single from his upcoming album agree to disagree. * the agree to disagree 12inch is housed in a die cut sleeve with spot uv varnish in insanely limited quantaties. act quickly because it wont get repressed. ever

this is the one. this is the summer tune of 2011. skream annie mac & nick grimshaw have all been building the hype hackmans epic title track >close<. probably one of the best pieces of, bass driven vocal dance music this year. cheekily sniping the alicia keys acapella from >no one< and employing the pitching down technique hackman compliments the vocal riff with layers of heavily clapped out garage breakbeats, and tops it off with a euphoric, futuristic grime bassline that rolls out like an atlantic breaker. its not just close, its perfect - and its another effortlessly curated release from greco-roman.

hackman surrenders his last single before his album drops. moving from his technicolourfunky / grime hybrid of his first ptn excursion, >made up my mind< & >bam bam< descends into solid house beats and hefty basslines. look out for his forthcoming album on ptn in 2011.

finish copy promo. briskly traveling from swansea to leeds, ptn follows doc daneekas release with an equally hyped ep of fresh material from hackman, who along with doc d, featured in fact magazines top 10 producers to watch for the year. hackman is one of the exploding funky movements best and brightest producers, rising fast and unleashing unstoppable rhythm after unstoppable rhythm. profiled by the venerable and influential blackdown in 2009 hackman is no stranger to hype even so early in his career. but its not all just hype, and if anything, the hyperbole is warranted. hackman makes music in line with other prominent funky producers, but his productions have a certain sheen and a peculiarly humid quality that make them unmistakable. his impressive grasp of bass (see the absolutely crushing basslines in >bodies< and >surround< off of his ep for well rounded, betrays his initial foray into dubstep, and it lends his music a power both more nuanced and more visceral than many of his contemporarie

for their 3rd release well rounded bring you the imaginative and playful funky-influenced house sound of hackman. this ep is packed with punchy & polished productions and adventurous arrangements. we have curated 3 tracks that we feel demonstrate the breadth and potential of this exciting young producer based in leeds, england. on the a bodies is an ecstatic piano-driven belter with immediate appeal. the 4/4 drums drive hard, funked up with supple bass flexations, then punctuated with classic chords and catchy vocal cut-ups. what sounds simple here is carefully considered. a brilliantly constructed, exciting and peak-time melodic banger! on the flip surround leads the listener into more tropical terrain

including brackles remix.

first up is ?loophole?- a slice of futuristically industrial music. melodically unsettling synth stabs set the tone early, whilst snippets of a seductive pitch-shifting vocal teamed with atmospheric pads lead us further into the mix. a frenetic bass-line breaks the tension as the track takes hold and leads us into darker territories. simultaneously unnerving and undeniably catchy ?loophole? refuses to conform to our already formulaic preconceptions of this genre yet remains infinitely more rewarding as a result.
