DVA IS BACK ON HYPERDUB WITH ‘TAKE IT ALL’ EP
DVA has announced the release of a new EP, ‘Take It All’, due out on 13th May.
The producer, also known as Scratcha DVA, is a Hyperdub stalwart having released most of his music through the label over the years. His last, ‘Allyallrecords’, was released in 2015.
‘Take It All’ is in a similar vein to its predecessor, the label says that it features "adventurous dance floor dynamics, stop-start twitchy rhythms and trap doors, where everything falls away leaving gaping black holes of sub bass."
