Another bit of Hotflush freshness right here from Bristol based Arkist + Kidkut.

My choice out of the two is the beautiful ‘Vanilla Imitate’, an excellent slice of deep UK garage; but this is something else people - tight rhythms, glitchy goodness and swirling pads.

This is a brilliant release from two excellent producers (Arkist and Kidkut have both had releases on the Apple Pips label). I heard this rinsed out by Appleblim yesterday at Lovebox… it was sounding rude. Listen below, Vanilla Imitate is 1.30 in.

It’s out on vinyl and digital 25th July.

For more Hotflush riddims, check Scuba’s set from this year’s Sonar (I’ve promised myself to go next year.)
