Having quickly elevated himself to staple-of-the-scene status since bursting into the world of drum & bass in 2018, Unglued is back with his latest single on south London-based dance music imprint Hospital Records. ‘Crusty Rolls’ is the amalgamation of old-school jungle and hardcore influences combined with Benny L’s signature tearout sound and the soul drenched vocals of Javeon. Set to release his debut album later this year, this is only but a snippet of what to expect from the almighty Unglued.
Funky keys and Javeon’s silky vocals create a picturesque soundscape reminiscent of bouncing crowds and love-fuelled ravers before mangled 808 wobbles and a shredding bassline take full effect. The pairing of Unglued and Benny L sees two drum & bass powerhouses join forces as they bring together their unmatchable sound design capabilities and punch-packed drum processing, whilst Javeon provides serious vocal vibes.
With his debut album on the horizon that’s already brewing up a sense of excitement within the drum & bass community, Unglued’s productions are an essential go-to for an array of DJs. With support ranging from the likes of Andy C to Randall, DJ Marky to Noisia, his musical presence has made a mark across the full spectrum of 174BPM. No stranger to making moves on the airwaves, the Brighton-based sonic surgeon recently stepped up to deliver a ‘Brief History of Breakbeat’ minimix for Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, not forgetting to mention his ‘Hottest Record In The World’ for his future classic ‘Born In ‘94’ as well as frequent support from Rene LaVice and Charlie Tee. Unglued is on the fast track to the top of the game.
Released April 16, 2021 on Hospital Records.
