Bristol is showing no sign of losing its edge as the UK’s leading dance music city, and the latest from local label Peach Discs is an unexpected collaboration from two of its finest producers. Fresh from his split release with Laurel Halo, Livity Sound affiliate Hodge teams up with Peach Discs boss Shanti Celeste, one of Bristol’s most successful DJ exports of recent years. The Soba Dance 12” contains three tracks of trippy, drum-heavy energy, but on the heatstroke-inducing B-side ‘Alula’ they’ve produced a winning combo of crusty breaks, tropical percussion and a ridiculously infectious bassline. Soba Dance is out via Peach Discs on 6th February.
