Octo Champ 'Alleluia' (Let’s Go Swimming)
The relatively new label from Hackney’s Henry Fry is picking up some serious momentum with each release it outs out. As its title suggests, ‘Alleluia’ features a touch of gospel sampling, used sparsely and heavily chopped alongisde a raw, lo-fi Afro-rhythm track. There are some definite Detroit influences at play, and a slightly moody vibe with just the right amount momentum to switch up the energy in a set when the atmosphere gets dark.
