Polonis 'Farmer' EP (Pear Drops)
Young Scottish beatmaker Polonis made his name with a series of killer grime edits, but here he shines on an EP for Bristol’s Pear Drops collective. On ‘Farmer’, he dabbles in sugary, crystalline melodies and sino themes, while on ‘G1’ he chops and screws in a harder, brasher fashion that nods to the work of producers like Gundam. ‘Farmer’ remixes come from Letta, who adds skippy, playful beats and plenty of gunshot FX, and Name Less, who opts to deconstruct Polonis’ original into a woozy, dream-like pulp.
