Label Boss, Cozzy D, Steps Up With His Latest Offering, Unleashing A Couple Of Analogue-based Beasts, Together With A Sterling Remix From Portuguese Assassin Trikk.
Sales Information:
Cozzy is a long-serving member of London's electronic music scene, starting out as a Garage DJ in the late nineties, before he became involved with the highly fertile east London underground. It was during this heady period that he met Lee Brinx and started Lower East. Cozzy's style is a fusion of rugged house music, spliced with deeper elements and soulful nuances - and a firm focus on the dancefloor.
This new single sets out his stall for 2014 perfectly, with lead track '4D' encapsulating that hard yet emotive sound he's been cultivating over the years. Expertly chopping in a vocal that will be familiar to many dance music fans, Cozzy layers intense strings over a stomping set of percussion and an equally tough analogue bassline. Way down in the bottom a layer of sub bass adds a final level of depth.
'D&H' takes us into the melancholy zone with its droning bassline and tension building high strings. It's a haunting affair all round, and once those synth stabs pop up in the second half of the track you'll be hard pushed not to feel a wave of emotion wash over you.
Last up Trikk steps in with a killer remix in his trademark retro-leaning style, channelling warehouse vibes circa 1992. He ups the ante slightly with shuffling percussion, thunderous sub bass and various throwback effects that give it a bit of an old-school drum 'n' bass feel.
