UPFRONTBEATS

Philip Bader has been a busy guy recently with a huge release on Saved Records. His next EP ‘Keep Ya Head Up’ is released by Lost Records and its a hot one. First release for both Bader and Lost Records and they are continuing where they left off in 2014. The EP gets a huge remix package aswell from the likes of Detlef, PAWSA and Kalyde.

Leftwing & Kody’s london based imprint has been causing a storm in 2014 and the lads just keeping pushing out the leading material, Bader has been going from strength-to- strength has had releases on huge labels such as Saved Records and Moon Harbour.

EP opener and title track ‘Keep Ya Head Up’ is a gritty no-nonsense cut built around thumping bass and shifting percussion. ‘Blue Frog’ takes things a little groovier over beautifully basic pads and arpeggiated tones while the punchy drums of ‘Handmade’ strip things back once more to deliver a bouncy house workout.
First up for remix duty is VIVa Music man Detlef who stamps his own tribal rhythms on ‘Handmade’, while Lost affiliate PAWSA works soft pads and rippling drums to dish up a melodic groove-laden twist reworking of ‘Blue Frog’. For the final offering on the EP fresh up-and-coming talent Kalyde cultivates frisky rhythms and robust beats around a resonating vox to close things off in a raw and vibrant fashion for his re-imagining of ‘Keep Ya Head Up’.
