After a strong showing for the Metalheadz XX series Friske returns with another solid EP, this time for ‘headz Platinum. The work follows on nicely from where the last EP left off, providing tough groove-led techstep with a hint of soul.

DLR & Ant TC1 step up with a super crisp remix of Requisite to open the EP before clearing the floor for Friske to do his thing. True to form the man serves up a pair of solid head-nodding rollers in the form of the hypnotic Temperamental and the smooth, jazzy tones of Down.

Out into the back end of the EP things get a bit more old-skool in flavour, with some rougher break chopping and classic vocal slices filtering through the mix on Your Loving before Question closes things out on a darker and more militant tip. Tasty business all round as usual from one of the leading labels in the scene! Check out the clips below and hit up the Metalheadz store to grab a copy on vinyl or digital now.

Friske – Speculate [Metalheadz]

Friske is a name I haven’t heard frequently enough since first coming across his deadly collaboration with Perpetuum, Step Up, way back in 2006. It’s good to see him back in the scene and gracing the mighty Metalheadz with new beats, and his new three tracker for the Meth XX series is well worth a listen.

All atmosphere and drum groove, the tracks remind me of Paradox’s work except for with less reliance on classic breaks, the percussion instead taking a slightly more modern approach. This one’s out now on vinyl and digital – check out the clips below and go grab a copy from your favourite outlet.
