Nothingnice & Hayz - Hawkeye EP feat. Riko Dan & Logan (DURK034) by Hayz published on 2021-01-22T15:45:08Z TRACKLIST 1. Hawkeye (feat. Riko Dan) 2. Hawkeye (feat. Riko Dan) [DJ Polo remix] 3. Hawkeye [instrumental] 4. Shell Dem (feat. Logan) Durkle Disco kick off their 10th year in operation with ‘Hawkeye’ - a massive collaboration EP from rising production talents Nothingnice & Hayz, both alumni of the acclaimed 1Forty Project label, who bring the vocal talents of grime stars Riko Dan & Logan along for the ride. Taking equal sonic influence from Leeds based Hayz’s classic grime squarewave synths and Bristolian Nothingnice’s more dubstep inclined leanings, ‘Hawkeye’ sits somewhere in that grey area between the 2 scenes, making it perfect fodder for a label which has often comfortably occupied that same space over the years. Riko Dan returns to Durkle for the first time since 2019’s UK Funky banger ‘Bushmaster’ on the title track – a stripped back yet weighty riddim driven by a menacing yet hypnotic synth-line and a typically rowdy vocal from the London City Warlord himself – this one is sure to “lick the bullseye just like Hawkeye” as he gets “dark & greeezy” on the track. Leader of the Bristol UK Funky pack DJ Polo steps up for his Durkle debut (under this alias at least…) on remix duties. His dark, minimal and percussive version slows things down to 133bpm, putting the Riko Dan vocal front & centre, in a grimy funky style that fans of the label will be no strangers to. Rounding the EP off in fine style, ‘Shell Dem’ sees the return of Logan, responsible for ‘Bad’ (alongside Kouslin) - arguably Durkle Disco’s biggest release to date – and one of the most prolific of the newer generation of grime MCs. Another dark and sub-heavy 140bpm banger with a low rolling synth which will sit equally comfortably in grime or dubstep sets, Logan’s energetic yet effortless sounding dancehall influenced vocal complementing the beat perfectly as he comes to “shell dem down”.
