Pirupa – Pirupa & Friends EP

Lately here at phuk, we’ve had a little break from reviewing so we can concentrate on our own production, events and general future planning. However, with such great music being released at the moment it’s really difficult not to jump back in! So now we’re back and ready to showcase some of the industries biggest tunes from both the top players and the unknown. If we like it, we’ll write about it!

On that note, here is something special that has recently been released on Saved Records, a 4-track EP from Pirupa. I’m not going to go into proper detail with these as you can hear them for yourself but expect some top class production. The first track is called ‘Pitch Da Bitch’ and is co-produced by Leon, it has some blippy stabs and a rap vocal laid over big techy drums and a deep bassline. The second track, and my favourite on the EP, is called ‘Demons’. It contains more blippy stabs, but this time coupled with nice cinematic pads and synths, love this! Third on the EP is called ‘Nomad’ and is co-produced by Alex Kennon. Amazing track and a certain club banger, big breakdown and drop. I can’t wait to play this out! Last up is a track called ‘Space Odissey’, this has a familiar vocal loop laid over a nice bouncy, hi-hat heavy tech pattern. Some great use of the cowbell and 70’s style synth keys; but you gotta have the cowbell!!

All round great EP, out now..

Max Linen – Flashback (Pirupa Remix)

A track with a trip down memory lane really. The sound on this is exclusive and identifiable to the one and only Pirupa. Back in 2010, Myself and Lawrence destroyed the airwaves of Select Uk with the thunderous tech-techno mergers of Pirupa. Full of eclectic tribal rhythm and percussion, but with strong techno inspired relentless bass and affected vocals. This track has a trippy, acidic, breakdown – but smacks back in without fail, with the trademark Pirupa rhythm and drums. If ‘Drum and Bass’ wasn’t a 170bpm genre all of it’s own, it would be a great way to describe this track. Maybe Bass and Drum will do. The artwork is crazy, but, definitely worth a download.
