He may be based in Copenhagen, but rising star Adam "Main Phase" Emil makes UK garage so authentic that it could have been made by two dudes in Elephant and Castle. Further proof arrives via "Bluku" and "Eski", the two A-side tracks from his latest must-check EP. Both are sub-heavy two-step workouts whose warped bass sounds and eight-bit melodies owe plenty to another London-pioneered style, grime. Over on the flip, he takes us back to the rave era via the slack-tuned breakbeats, sparkling piano stabs, echoing female vocal snippets and elongated dark garage bass of "Cool Down (93 Mix)", before peppering a bustling, pitched-down jungle break with more ear-pleasing, 16-bit synth sounds on "All of the People".
