With credits between them ranging from Hypercolour, Future Boogie, Fear Of Flying, Southern Fried, Save You and Wolf, DJ/producers James Welsh and Ste Roberts team up under their R&W pseudonym for this, the 7th release on Initials With its clear mandate from the word go back in 2012 to release only the most underground house and techno, Initials (helmed by Ste himself, Hypercolours Alex Jones and 1trax label boss Dave Elkabas) delivers the goods yet again with the Socks & Scandals EP. At just 2 tracks, there is no need to say more, with opener Meat an understated mechanical exploration into the art of evolving and hypnotic beat-crafting, while Bucket Sheep employs rhythmic detail in a broader soundscape to great effect, offsetting the incessant marching bass expertly.
