London’s Scott Kemp has been bubbling away in the underground scene of his home turf for quite some time now, racking up material on imprints such as Mobilee, Hypertone and Lowroom, delivering a contemporary sound infused with dubby aesthetics and dark, moody rhythms. Here Kemp joins the Turquoise Blue roster, another step towards greatness for the up and comer as he sits alongside Laura Jones, Droog, Adam Shelton and Djebali in the labels catalogue.

Kemp’s original mix of ‘302’ opens the single here, a dubby, groove-led number driven by loose, strippedback drums, simmering sub bass and echoing low-end tones. While a sweeping spoken-word vocal line in the drawn out breakdown, strips things back to generate impact as the tracks swings back into action with additional growling subs thrown into the mix. Following Parisian artist DJ W!ld steps up to reshape ‘302’, doing what he does best and riding out a raw 909 fuelled beat, while bumpy toms and rumbling bass drives the dance floor appeal, and tension building synth sweeps create an underlying ghostly atmosphere.

On the latter half of the release, heavily hyped Argentinian artist Seph reworks ‘302’, the Dumb Unit / Bpitch artist delivers a refreshing interpretation which sees him infuse a subtle grit into the composition, bringing punchy analogue style drums to the forefront, while evolving ethereal pads meander around them, and a multitude of penetrating subs build an understated profound depth as they brilliantly warble around the foundations. Last up to close the single Desolat’s Hector turns in his remix, the Mexican artist sticks his trademark hypnotic house stamp on the original cut, opting for clicky, glitched out beats, while raw chord stabs and swirling pads intensify the progressive groove and expansive dynamism."
