Junction - a six track EP produced entirely by Samrai & Platt - features vocalists from Jamaica, Ireland & the UK and rounds off an excellent 12 months for the label & crew whove toured across North America, Mexico and Europe in 2017. The set kicks off with ST favourite Alexx A-Game (originally voiced at his studio in Kingston in 2016) urging listeners to free up their mind and souls and let the good times take control. It sets the tone for upcoming Jamaican talent Blvk H3ro to step up on the soulful party number Cant Wait (recorded at Equiknoxx’s studios in Vineyard Town in 2016), which has been a staple in Swing Ting sets over the last 18 months. Slowing the pace is Addiction, a link up with Irish artist and frequent Murlo collaborator Gemma Dunleavy who lays down an impressive vocal over the skittering drums, muted guitar and glistening keys. The listen is interrupted momentarily for an interlude from Gavsborg whose moving voicemail is accompanied by a poignant piano line from JP aka Without Understanding. One for the clubs Turn it Up features Equiknoxxs Shanique Marie riding a stripped funky-esque riddim with ease. Fittingly the set closes with Contagious which finds two of Manchester’s finest vocalists Fox & Tyler Daley searching for an escape from the reality of our turbulent times over a refined yet sparkling production. The 12inch vinyl will be limited to 200 copies
