Sure, we can talk about footwork. Let’s talk about how those crazy dance moves associated with the genre have led to NY label Lit City Trax (founded by J-Cush, DJ Spinn, and DJ Rashad) figuratively dancing off the reservation, narrowly missing the oncoming locomotive, and into serious organ-vibrating territory! The Visionist EP I’m Fine is certainly one such example of this, and now an associate of Louis Carnell himself is set to join in on the increasingly inclusive fun. We’re in the African grasslands somewhere, and the herbivorous Saga is approaching Lake Lit City in order to quench his thirst. There’s nary a croc in sight!
Last year, Dublin-born producer Saga released his debut Crescent EP on Visionist’s Lost Codes label, and this year marks the release of a different debut for a different (but loosely affiliated) outfit — Flight Risk on Lit City Trax October 21. Sans original vocals, the EP falls squarely within the “grime” category, with each track being hard-hitting, save some synth strings necessary for the alleviation of the soul.
No tracks to share yet, but listen to some snippets from that Crescent EP here. The new one’s generally in the same vein.
