MIGRANT - Exit Plan (12" white labels)

The seventh release set to drop from upstart dance imprint Iberian (named appropriately for its owners' Spanish and Portuguese homebases) is a three-track 12" by label co-founder Migrant, called the Exit Plan EP. That record precedes a forthcoming full-length album of the same name (release date TBA), also from which all three of the featured tracks are taken. As heard on "Limbic Sistim," Migrant's music is an especially booming brand of UK funky-slanted house that boasts non-stop dancefloor grooves, massive sub-bass tones, and a deft application of micro-samples—all reminding us a bit of Bassment Jaxx, or even Warp producer Clark when he's trying his hand at more straightforward beats. You can stream the rest of the Exit Plan EP before it's released on June 27, here.

The seventh release from the consistently-consistent Iberian label sees Barcelona's Migrant, aka 23HZ (one half of 23HZ & Numaestro and Relocate) drop three beasties. As a big fan of 'Dot Dot Dash', I knew he could do 4/4 really well, so check 'Acid Sumatra', with its tough, techno-skewered take on UK funky, which pulsates and tweaks in all the right spots, with the mildly awkward 'Pipe Club' biting at its heels with a killer 2nd drop.
