Heard this on the Trouble & Bass usteam rave they did a couple of days ago. Coming soon on the Riddim EP, all the tracks sound good but this is definately the stand out for me.

Soundcloud

ok, maybe 'wasting' is a bit strong, but i expect more than something that sounds like a loop from a vengeance wav disc from someone like him.

Agree with James, it is kinda like franky rizardo/afrojack/olivertwizt style.

I think it's primarily designed for the dance floor. I've been in his studio and he's played me some of the 'non released' stuff he's been doing, it's very good and similar to the 'old' style garage flex he's known for.

Matt knows his stuff, and is a talented musician. He'll bring lots of flavors to the table when he's ready.

I think it's a banger, but I also think MJ Cole could've made this more intimate sounding.

@Groucho he sent me this .wav pack along with a few others from the Riddem EP, can assure you he isnt wasting any of that talent, man is a master...

Also his set at the lock tavern the other night after Rust was pure fire bro, trust.

Read my post back and I realized I came across as a name dropping knob jockey. Sorry!

Didn't mean to. (He is a good bloke tho)

I got an EP coming on his label In May. It's not banging in the sense of the 'Riddim' EP for sure.
Sorry again!

:lol:

I dont doubt him! Sincere is still one of my top 10 all time favourite albums, what I meant was the new stuff im hearing on his soundcloud seems like hes not even making an effort, if you know what i mean.

kind off seems like the opposite of the MJ Cole of the past.

but thats probably a good thing, it is like a decade later so you'd kinda hope he'd changed his musical output somewhat
