following the huge success of xis second release, orca recordings is back to deliver its highly anticipated forth instalment, this time from the highly versatile xxxy, who has delivered two unbelievably cuts for his first 12 inch on the label.

hyetals stock has been in the ascendant since his flurry of synth-heavy moves for bristols punch drunk (with shortstuff) and soul motive labels. for orca records he offers the paisley pomp of >phoenix< and the smoother swinger -like silver-, both sure to raise his profile further. -phoenix- is the one for us, making the prince love clear with lazer zapping chords before tilting forwards with a kit of rugged linn drums. -like silver- reduces the exuberant pace in favour of a loose swinging vibe with idm-ish melodies

orca recordings was created to deliver music built for the dance-floor that retains its integrity by pushing creative and production standards to a new level. operating out of north london, orca is set to represent forward-thinking artists who are influenced by, but not restricted to, the many strands of uk bass music.
the first release comes from x.i, one of the most exciting producers in bass music today. the track, named >the ghost< captures the exact sentiment and ethos of orca, xi creates an instant vibe with a short and energetic intro before the simple yet highly effective drum pattern and tough sub work out release this tracks potential.
on the flip, headhunter demonstrates exactly why he is one of the most sought after producers as he puts his unique touch onto his remix of >the ghost<. his trademark razor sharp drums and expertise help draw attention to the amount of space he has created in this track giving a meditational, eyes down vibe, now uncommon in uk bass music.
strong dj support has come from across the board, and includes: mary anne hobbs, loefah, youngsta, icicle, hatcha, appleblim, hyetal amongst many more..
in addition to this, orca has forthcoming material from hyetal, luke.envoy and asusu.
