Julio Bashmore has released a new single, ‘Bubblin’, on Local Action.

The sub-heavy UK Garage cut is the Bristol-based artist’s first new music under his Julio Bashmore moniker since 2015, and will be the first in a series of new releases planned for the year ahead.

Bashmore stepped away from the circuit following his 2015 debut album ‘Knockin’ Boots’, released via Broadwalk Records, re-surfacing only to drop a couple of discreet white label 12”s under the Bash alias in the years since.

Releasing on labels including 3024, Futureboogie, Dirtybird, and PMR Records, Bashmore was a key player in the UK’s underground house scene of the early 2010s, later becoming a household name thanks to heavily-rotated hits like ‘Au Seve’ and ‘Battle for Middle You’.

Since then, the producer has released just one video online (last April) where he can be seen tinkering with a range of hardware at his Bristol home.

On Friday, Overmono opened their fabric set with ‘Bubblin’, celebrating the release of their anticipated debut album, ‘Good Lies’, on XL Recordings.

Listen to ‘Bubblin’ below.
