Reputable for supplying heavy duty sonics, ‘Bubblers Part One’ is a supreme
development of the 25-year old’s highly sought signature sound. Home to four
fresh cuts marking the start of his trailblazing new three-part ‘Bubblers’ series,
Whiney’s latest EP proves he’s got the technique and flair to be a lead player
in the scene
Jungle-infused gritty stepper ‘No Good’ gets things rolling with old-school
soundscapes and a captivating R&B style vocal. A fierce ascending bassline accompanied
by raw breaks and crisp percussion hits explode into play, setting
the track up to be a future classic that continues to carry the foundations of
drum & bass into the sounds of today.
Featuring the vocals of mic veteran MC GQ, ‘Guernsey Airport Bubbler’ is
straight-talking and deadly. Written in the lounge of Guernsey Airport amidst
his busy touring schedule pre-lockdown, this quirky heavy hitter comes close to
being a textbook audible representation of a true bubbler.
Minimal sounding and darker in vibe, ‘Black Ice’ offers a copious amount of
distorted swells, a throbbing sub line and snappy drums which keep the tune
swinging throughout. Icey by name but extremely hot in nature - proceed with
caution! ‘November’ rounds off the EP as it draws closer to Whiney’s trip-hop
and future bass oriented inspirations. Thumping kick drums, high pitched vocal
chops and dreamy synth work are projected into a glistening beacon showcasing
the far reaching ability of his skill as a creator.
With an impressive collection of releases under his belt on the recently closed
Med School imprint, including ‘Stop The Clock / Breadcrumbs (feat. BOP)’, his
‘Waystone’ LP and debut album ‘Talisman’, it’s now time for Whiney to officially
join the Hospital Records roster with his first solo release on the label as he
continues to pave his way to becoming one of the most respected artists within
drum & bass.
