- TASHA (Neighbourhood): “Wow, proper different, sick release, my faves are 1 & 2 I think, they all fab”
- Quartz: “Dark Horse is mental.. in the best way - it’s like Autonomic but with drums. Loop Me is a play tune all over. Great A&R these are all REALLY good”
- Bakey: “Love this release!!”
- Jon1s:t: “I found out about Kuttin Edge through one of Flight’s mixes recently, really love his style! Dark Horse is v much up my street, will def be playing that!”
- Executive Steve: “Really engaging, optimistic, bright and curious music. Absolutely perfect for a play:musik release. Loop Me has an amazing energy to it that kind of fills the gap that Jonny L and Martyn used to fill even if it doesn't sound much like either of them really… there's not much else out there that's hitting quite like these do.”
- DJ Patch: “THIS IS F***ING AMAZING!! So good, so so refreshing.”

Kuttin Edge arrives on p:m with (115), a musically adventurous set that draws from a range of influences - West African funk, UK and US electronics, Autonomic moods, minimal techno, and Brutalism; while a focus on analogue feel, overdubbing, and textural detail processes tie it together. An interesting, experimental, yet firmly dancefloor friendly EP.
A1. Onyeabor: a unique track full of vintage-sound synths, bright melodic lines, Moog-style arpeggios, and rhythms built on a CR78, layered with live drums, tambourines, and bass guitar. Disco funk samples and fx add texture, alongside heavy overdubbing. Inspired by early William Onyeabor aesthetics.
A2. Dark Horse: Dark Horse: an atmospheric arrangement of phase-y pads reminiscent of the peak Autonomic era, filtered through the abstract lens of artists like Actress or King Britt. The pacing and negative space give the tune a weighty but airy feel, punctuated by heavy toms and documentary-style foley. Soulfully cosmic.
B1. Loop Me: polyrhythmic arpeggios, swirling delays, unstable harmonic structure, and chromatic movement form a tense, shifting progression. Built around a single bell sample, the track is reshaped through layering, modulation, subtle changes in texture, and filtered transitions. A techno stepper.
B2. Geiger Scale: experiments with playful but controlled randomness, minimal structure and off-grid sequencing. The idea centres on a toy synth with loose notes and laidback groove formed of irregular, rhythmic patterns. Geiger Scale perfects restraint as the arrangement bubbles along with sparse melodies. Smokey and potent.
