Phaction 'Signature Moves' (CIA)
Still a relative newcomer, Bristol’s Phaction has certainly put himself in the shop window with this, the title cut from a five-tracker on CIA that’s easily the most unusual tune we’ve heard this month. An electro-tickled roller that shades into acrobatic tech, the track is swooshed in off-camera trills and r’n’b vocal splashes – all of which become irrelevant when that corkscrewing bass dives in and out of the mix, forcing smiles and head-nodding all round.
