ONLY OLD

TRACKS A1. It Weren™t A Satellite A2. Get Up To Get Down A3. Only Old A4. Runners B1. You™re Not Deep B2. Digi Luv ft. Eggrum B3. Bait Leo INFO South London producer Ben Hauke takes a sonic excursion to South America via Lewisham for a new seven track release for Far Out Recordings. While littered with Afro-Latin percussion, and samples of obscure Brazilian, Cuban and Colombian records, Only Old stays true to Ben™s distinctly London identity, with a record that fluctuates between house, broken beat and instrumental hip-hop. Having collaborated with the likes of Nubya Garcia and Joe Armon Jones, Ben Hauke stands at the electronic end of London™s new jazz movement. Currently working on new releases with more of a focus on live instrumentation, Ben titled the release ˜Only Old™ as it leans more heavily on his foundational approach to music making: an idiosyncratic, almost brazen sampling style in productions bursting with personality. Always full of character and style, Hauke™s productions have seen him likened to Theo Parrish and Madlib, with an altogether physical approach to sound. Title track ˜Only Old™ is moody broken beat with eerie sampled vocals and piano. ˜Get Up To Get Down™ is a light n™ breezy summer house stepper, while Brazil-inspired ˜Runners™ sounds as if it was made for MF Doom. Only Old will be released on 180g Vinyl on 20th July. Sleeve design by fellow South London based artist Samuel Lloyd. A rich, varied EP blessed with incredible breadth Clash I'm a big fan of his.
