BRODYR release their first VA on their imprint Black Seven Music

After their last release reached number 1 in the Beatport Tech House release charts, the Welsh duo BRODYR are back on their own imprint Black Seven Music.

The next release on the label sees their first-ever compilation come to fruition. Featuring a whole host of artists all from the UK, the ‘Autumn VA’ contains seven freshly-squeezed rolling Tech House and bumpy Deep House cuts – filled to the brim with groove and gusto.

Opening the release, label frontmen BRODYR present ‘Strippers’. A loosely swung chugging terrace track, driven by an addictive sub-bass melody and the ripple of soft synths. Its catchy vocal hook and shuffled rhythm make it a certified vibe-builder, and then some.

Matt Gray (UK) & Lokia’s ‘Mars In Your Eyes’ cranks the tempo somewhat. A pounding roller from the first bar, the tracks cleverly planned percussive arrangement give it bags of energy and adds character to its undulating potency – making it a robust peak-time Tech driver.

Flowtek (UK) follows up with ‘Diskotek’. Focusing on the roar of low-end frequencies, the track’s amazonian persona makes for an enjoyably moving experience. Expanding through its transitional stages, building and striking, delivering a rambunctious throwdown each time.

Taking things down a deeper route, MKEY (UK) supplies a standout piece with ‘Intergalactic’. A dubby and spaced-out affair, essentially providing a premium exhibition of London town’s prominent Deep House sonic format. Loose, sultry and subtle; full of movement-invoking rhythm and plenty of rabbit hole moments to sink into.

‘Pronto’ is next up, as Chris Brooks delivers a punchy and compelling Tech stomper. Clean cut percussion rattle of the crisp piercing of sizzling hats, all riding above the thumping combination of heavyweight kicks and sub-bass notes below. A pulsating dancefloor heater to say the least.

Copasetic’s ‘Git Da’ is another standout track. Driving Deep Tech that will put you on your toes, a minimalistic approach to the beat structure accentuates the vigour of all of its elements. If you’re looking for a late-night head-turner, this is up there.

Closing the release, Atlas Boda’s ‘Dusk’ throws even more variation into the mix. A pacy wobbler, difficult to attach to a specific genre and built around a burning sense of creativity. A crisp 4/4 beat lays the foundation for modulating and arpeggiating soft synths and bass layers, taking you through melodic peaks and troughs from start to finish. A truly unique piece of music to end our first ever compilation.
