Last Nubian — one of South London’s most electrifying producer/DJ talents — partners with Geneva’s Sweet Fruity Brunch to debut on Errol and Alex Rita’s Touching Bass with six tracks oozing the grit and groove of South London with deep house, broken beat, and dub at its core. From the wiggling, jazz-tinged house of the title track and anthemic singalong bruk of "in da morning" (both featuring the honeyed vocals of Achanté) to "unformidable/call it out”’s moody steadiness and the dub that bookends the EP — this is music with soul firmly in its veins. Fresh from stellar releases on Tiff’s Joints and Ben Hauke’s Woop Records, the Balamii Radio resident has been steadily making moves for the past few years as part of an exciting scene of local producers and DJs. He’s now ready to take things to a new level, developing a live/DJ-hybrid performance (which premiered spectacularly to a hot-footed audience at Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here Festival). ‘Babylon Shuffle’ marks the first of Touching Bass’ 12” riddim packages, bottling the eclectic sounds of their much-loved South London-based dance on wax; custom built for dancefloor damage and beautifully presented in the soon-to-be customary, crimson red house sleeve. Previous support from Moxie, Shy One, Secretsundaze, Aqwea, Pete Tong, Jamz Supernova, Alexander Nut, and more.
