Struggles

The latest release on Lenzman’s North Quarter imprint comes from North Carolina producer Echo Brown: a hefty EP of distinctive drum & bass goodness. ‘Affirmations’, with UK MC KinKai, is a warm liquid cut with a Calibre feel, while the soulful vocals of ‘So Good’ come laced with jazzy chords and crisp stepping beats. ‘Love Won’t Do’ is darker in mood, with its growling bass exhalations, and ‘Phenomena’ is an instrumental built for moments lost on dancefloors — remember them?
