Svebbe The dons of the UK house-scene link up for two bangers on Local Action. Love to see Bashmore back in action, and Williams back on the label. Favorite track: Porta Time.

Markus (Hårek) Lean, mean dancing machine. Bashmore and Williams stripping it down to the bare minimum with a house and funky two-tracker. Is minimal funky even a thing? dik, big fan. Favorite track: Porta Time.

about

Two of UK house music’s finest join forces on ‘ZP Dub’ / ‘Porta Time’, a new two-track single out today on Local Action.

Both T and Bashmore’s histories are interlocked: they were both part of the underground’s infiltration of pop music that was such a big part of dance music’s story in the early 2010s, touring the world and becoming globally-recognised names while working with the likes of Jessie Ware and Disclosure, and they also run the vinyl-focused Conch label, releasing a series of excellent 12”s in the late 2010s.

On ‘ZP Dub’, they draw from their mutual love of loopy French house and minimal dance floor dynamics, mixed live on the desk at Casa del Bash, while ‘Porta Time’ - which actually dates back to 2017 - is a UK Funky epic driven by springy drums and big keys. As with much of T and Bashmore’s best material, it’s the perfect example of doing a lot with a little, making sure every channel counts. Not an inch of fat on these two.

‘ZP Dub’ / ‘Porta Time’ follows this year’s Bashmore comeback single ‘Bubblin’ (one of Pitchfork’s Songs of the Summer, and a favourite in recent sets by Overmono, Ahadadream, Kornel Kovacs and more) and acclaimed recent T. Williams releases on Strictly Rhythm, Defected and Purple City. It also marks T. Williams’ return to Local Action after inaugurating the label way back in 2010, and releasing four of the label’s first releases back in its formative years, including the classic ‘Heartbeat’.

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
