Description

The newly formed Steak House Records bring some much-needed carnival fire for these winter months, their sights firmly on the Trinidad carnival season. Label owners Atki2 and Hanuman take the helm on this release, enlisting the vocal talents of MC Zulu on the EP's standout lead track `Hyped Up'. The party continues on the flip, with the psychedelic funky of `Haarlem Drift' and the Arabic folky heater `Tigris Riddim', already a firm favourite with Toddla T. Mashing up global riddims and bass heavy genre bending ruffness, they incorporate sounds from bassline to bashment, grime to dubstep to funky to soca and back again! A1: Hyped Up feat MC Zulu is an instant party classic. Featuring the formidable vocal talents of the original badman MC Zulu. This tune is pure Soca Fire. A2: Bombeiros! is the riddim of Hyped Up and a huge tune in its own right. Chromatic Bass and galloping Soca Beats raise the temperature on this tropical banger. One for the Airhorns Crew! B1: Tigris Riddim. As featured on Toddla T.'s Fabriclive:47 mix. Fragments of Iraqi folk music collide with bubbling bass and tuff bashment beats. Global Bass at its finest. B2: Haarlem Drift is a psychedelic funky anthem. Dreamy synths and punishing sub bass weave themselves around a broken tribal rhythm. Featured in Chrissy Murderbot's massive Mad Decent Mixtape. Sinden, DJ Mag - "There couldn't be a more fitting title for this second 12" from the Steak House crew. Aided by the vocal firepower of MC Zulu, the lead cut is guaranteed tropical dynamite for the right kind of crowd. On the flip the tunes take a slightly deeper turn, with the heavyweight bass and slimline rhythm of `Tigris Riddim' capturing the atmosphere of primal, minimal jungle at a slower BPM". Oli Warwick, IDJ - "Chew on a couple of amphetamines, mainline the Red Bull and pop some Nicorette patches under your eyelids; this is pumped Kuduro-esque madness. Party party!" Markle, DJ Mag - "Hot on the heels of STEAK 001, praised by everyone from Thom Yorke to Sinden comes another 12" of karnival heat from Hanuman and Atki2's Steak House imprint". Clash Magazine - "Its only STEAK 002, but Steak House threaten to build a distinctive voice. The title track from label bosses Hanuman and Atki2 is a soca/bashment speedbomb featuring hired gun MC Zulu, while `Tigris Riddim slows to (b)ass-wiggling dancehall speed and `Haarlem Drift' gets the melodius funk. Everyone from Toddla T to Thom Yorke are on this lot. Best have a butchers". Support From Sinden, 2562, Toddla T, Poirier,Baobinga, Murderbot, Roska, Starkey, Bok Bok, Dub Boy.
