DJ Polo is one of my favourite UK Funky producers, he started producing sometime in the 2010s and often has a rather distinctive style to his drum programming, it feels a lot more influenced by the likes of samba, kuduro, and other rhythm heavy musical idioms from the likes of Brazil, Angola, and now he continues this with some expanded influence of South African gqom on this new EP with the group Tribal Brothers on the perennially classic Bristol label Livity Sound. Tribal Brothers have been around much longer and I'm a lot less familiar with their music, but between the three of them, this album bangs and really makes me miss going out dancing, I just love this sort of thing to death. Very spare regarding "melody", nice amount of bass, really heavy on the groove.
