• Athlete Whippet - Hands Only EP [12" vinyl"]

  Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

  • 
  • 
  After a handful of lush singles on squareglass and Exploited, Athlete Whippet deliver a debut EP on 12" with 3 originals and 2 remixes.
  
  Balmy dance music is perhaps not the typical soundtrack for the not so much sun-kissed boroughs of Southeast London. But Peckham-hailing duo Athlete Whippet, who debuted their first releases in 2016, have already made a name for themselves with their distinct, warm-sounding tracks that have been said to fuse “house sensibilities, hazy synths and unorthodox rhythms” (XLR8R). The productive pair is currently presenting their first, 3-track EP Hands Only, which further establishes their hybrid, nonchalant-yet-nuanced approach to dance music.
  Barath and Braum, both self-taught instrumentalists, producers and DJs and co-owners of eclectic record label squareglass, whose output goes way beyond dance music realms, have already been widely endorsed by forefront acts such as Scuba, Bicep, Laurent Garnier, Rob da Bank and Tom Ravenscroft. They have also seen their work remixed by acts like Ross From Friends, Awanto 3, Simbad and Horse Meat Disco founder Severino, and have been involved in curating festival stages, inviting guests such as Ian Pooley, and sharing UK club stages with icons such as Simian Mobile Disco and Teki Latex. The duo has also become affiliated with Berlin-based institution Exploited Records, which has been the home of their latest release 3AM.
  
  The new Athlete Whippet offering delves deeper into the lustful atmosphere and multilayered production that characterised the duo’s previous works, bolstered by a raw, refreshing energy. With opening track Hands Only setting a jazz-y, four-on-the-floor tone, through shimmering house gem Dreams with its seductive vocal, and to the bongo-laden, deep euphoria of Other, this EP demonstrates Athlete Whippet’s highly nuanced production craftsmanship, whilst maintaining an effortless, playful tone.
