Babies on crack,
Kickin’ the door,
(We’re all one.)
Waving the four four .”
Been a good while since we posted on one of the hypest (and at times slept on) outfits out there, but here Funkystepz do some serious damage to Jeremih’s All The Time creating a serious UK funky/bass anthem in the process.

Without doubt one producer out there doing things that blow us away each and every time, Beneath follows last weeks unmissable Tectonic release and reaches for the dutty skunk-soaked UK funky / junglist inflections on this latest clip. Absolutely deadly stuff as usual from the Northern producer.
An unexpected free EP from Mr. Cole, accompanied by this message:
“It’s time.
I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album.. And I have.Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space) .
Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul..
The wait is over.
Truly Yours,
Born Sinner
Truly Yours
PS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share.”
