Solardo 'On The Corner' (Sola)
We’ve enjoyed (and danced to) Solardo’s tracks for labels such as Cajual, Of Unsound Mind, Toolroom and Hot Creations. The Manchester duo have now produced their strongest EP to date. ‘On The Corner’ has a spoken word sample that sounds like it’s taken from a documentary about kids who work in the drugs trade, as well as a bouncing bassline and solid drums. ‘Mental Atmosphere’, meanwhile, is a dark basement jam with all the hallmarks of a top-quality release, including sprightly drums, clever samples and gravelly bass.
8/10
