Brighton based producer 184′s latest album seemed to slip under the radar a little bit when it was released on 21st January, and undeservedly so.

Anyone that knows me may have noticed that I’m not the best at mornings, so as soon as I saw the title of UK vet Verb T’s latest album on High Focus Records I was already pretty much sold. Do you care about my sleeping patterns? Probably (/hopefully) not, but seeing as Verbs is one [...]
With his Gruesome Features album (well, as he puts it, more of a compendium of bangers) coming soon on High Focus, the psychedelic word wizard that is Jam Baxter is back once again with the second single to be released from the project. Entitled Brains, it’s a spooky, Adams family style beat produced by Illinformed, [...]
