Some artists refuse to be categorised. Faze Miyake is one such producer; an East Londoner with a sharp ear for bass and boxfresh ideas who is constantly evolving. 26-year-old Farris Malik refuses to be defined by his city, boasting a transatlantic touch that sees him incorporate trappy snares and 808 bass with leftfield UK strands and productions that Novelist could be at home spitting over.
Having collated some of his previous work onto a USB (which sold out in under 45 minutes) courtesy of his own Woofer imprint, his debut album recently arrived on Rinse, blowing our expectations out of the water. With art direction courtesy of Nasir Mazhar, the only running musical theme of the self-titled LP is that it seems to be made for loud, hefty soundsystems.
