This is post-Night Slugs, post-Divoli S’vere, post secondwave grime. By having these three influences in the air, Traxxx Romay and Alfred English were able to create a track that has organically birthed the feeling of all of those movements at once. There are cute, almost PC Music-like drill noises, incredible, delicious flow from Romay, and some gorgeous synths that all work together in a way that brings to mind Mike G’s Divoli S’vere & Hysterics bootleg, but since the parts are organically created together, there’s something all the more satisfying, though the world is only ready for this in 2015. But we’re so glad she is! “Sapphire Sweat” is part of Traxxx Romay’s Kitty Cats & Big Faces EP, forthcoming Feb 2015 via KnightWerks! And check out Alfred English’s instrumental ripped from Rinse here for a totally different but equally relevant experience of “Sapphire Sweat.”
