Sammy W & Tobus – Acid Terrace [Hot Creations]
Following on from last year’s Bump It EP, Sammy W & Tobus join musical forces once again, this time with a fiery three-part offering for Hot Creations.
Acid Terrace opens the EP – a rumbling roller that cuts a fierce groove complimented by intriguing vocal samples. Shake It plunges in full power with its heavy-hitting bassline and rhythmic beat. Closing the package, Jam Tight is a funky number that chops and blends vocals alongside pads, adding classic house elements that create a solid, dancefloor burner.
Speaking of the making of the EP, the duo describe it as a being a pivotal “moment in which we are blessed to start a new stage in our musical career”. They explain that they took a different approach and “a little more diligence that gave the opportunity to release on Hot Creations”.
The pairing of Sammy W & Tobus first came to our attention back in 2011. Their fresh approach to DJ sets has garnered support from some of the scene’s top DJs. They seamlessly blend and blur the lines between genres, creating their own sound using elements of tech-house, funk and hip-hop. They’ve released music on 8bit, Repopulate Mars, Roush, Mr. Nice Guy, Brock Wild, as well as running their own labels Tobus X and Tobus Limited.
