New Violence Records welcomes Ellie Cocks for a new two track single that also comes with remixes by Arado and Lex & Wood. Cocks has been making her mark since 2012 and has a radio show on Reprezent, as well as being a resident at London’s vital tech house party, ABODE.

Opener Gone to Space is a driving tech house tune with warm, rubbery drums and bass all getting you going. There are woodpecker like hits, well treated vocals amping up the energy levels and the whole thing is perfectly dark and alluring. The Arado remix makes the drums more airy and upright, with white noise blasts layering in some edginess.

The other original is Montana, a nice loose and fluid house roller that goes deep, has scattered toms and warming chords to keep the groove well oiled. It is an atmospheric track that pops off and will make a mark in the club. The Lex & Wood remix is more unhinged, with bigger drums and wooden hits as well as sci-fi effects adding extra spice to the tune and ensuring it will get the floor pumping.

This is a fine EP that packs a real punch across all four tracks.
