8 Tracks: 2018 Heaters with Drone

Following recent appearances on Hear Other Sounds and Sector 7 (as well as a self-released USB beat tape), Drone is landing on Coyote Records later this month with the four-track Light Speed EP, which has already been receiving support from the likes of Kahn & Neek. Out 30th November, it fuses the icy, widescreen grime sound of label contemporaries like Last Japan and Silk Road Assassins with the hefty bass weight of Bristol soundsystem culture.
Drone has put together this excellent set of selections which showcase some of the most exciting bass music coming out of the UK right now. From Commodo to Impey, get stuck in below.
Light Speed is out 30th November via Coyote Records, pre-order it here.
I’ve been listening to a lot of O$VMV$M stuff recently. The way they manipulate samples and create atmosphere within their tracks resonates with me highly. ‘Shook’ is a personal favourite taken from their most recent LP which dropped on Idle Hands earlier this year, the whole project is incredible.
