Open edition
Two of UK house music’s finest join forces on ‘ZP Dub’ / ‘Porta Time’, a new two-track single out today on Local Action.
Both T and Bashmore’s histories are interlocked: they were both part of the underground’s infiltration of pop music that was such a big part of dance music’s story in the early 2010s, touring the world and becoming globally-recognised names while working with the likes of Jessie Ware and Disclosure, and they also run the vinyl-focused Conch label, releasing a series of excellent 12”s in the late 2010s.
On ‘ZP Dub’, they draw from their mutual love of loopy French house and minimal dance floor dynamics, mixed live on the desk at Casa del Bash, while ‘Porta Time’ - which actually dates back to 2017 - is a UK Funky epic driven by springy drums and big keys. As with much of T and Bashmore’s best material, it’s the perfect example of doing a lot with a little, making sure every channel counts. Not an inch of fat on these two.
