Josh Butler and Origins Rcrds bring the summer in with Full Swing with the new release from the fast rising talents of Dublin’s Andrew Azara and London’s Timmy P for their first release together titled ‘Full Swing’

Andrew Azara has had a great set of releases in the last 12 months including releases on Archie Hamilton’s Moscow Records, Sidney Charles’ Heavy House Society, Santé’s AVOTRE and also a remix of Mat.Joe on Origins aswell. Timmy P has featured on labels such as Seb Zito’s Seven Dials, Luuk Van Dijk’s Dark Side of The Sun, and Prunk’s PIV, with an EP released on Origins aswell. The pair have been regularly supported by many in the scene including Jamie Jones, Franky Rizardo, Chris Lake, Kevin McKay, Prok |Fitch and many many more.

For their first release together, the pair serve up a delightful 4 tracker, which starts with the title track of the EP ‘Full Swing’. This is an upbeat and bouncy track with a grooving bassline to get those hips moving and a shaking. It’s topped off with smoothly treated chord stabs to keep the head bopping and this is definitely one to get the floor moving.

Next up is track 2 ‘Heldens Groove’ an old school flavoured record, which utilizes those classic snares and chords with a jack to the swing. They add cut up vocals, a train horn and a highly identifiable lead synth sound that will get stuck in your head.

Track 3 is ‘Rattle Dust’ which is a tightly produced rolling groover aimed directly for the floor, with chopped and delayed fx vocal samples to give this track its own identity, which combine with the rolling energy to deliver a smooth and cool flipside track which will make people get their funk on.

Last but not least on the EP is ‘Smokey Poison’. Right from the off this gets you hooked into an incessant jackin groove, laden with swing, with bouncing chords and smart arrangement, giving this a highly danceable feel, and rounds off this slick and engaging EP in ‘Full Swing”’
