Having released his highly anticipated ÔZenÕ EP earlier in 2020 on Hospital Records, Unglued continues his explosive ascension with a jaw-breaking four-track follow up: ÔTotal XTCÕ. With roots cemented in jungle, breaks and hardcore, Unglued injects his signature bassline badness into each tearout track, topped with euphoric classic house samples in the title track ÔTotal XTCÕ, to hair-raising vocals from Truthos Mufasa in ÔWar DanceÕ featuring Whiney.
Total XTC fires us through a prism of late 80s nostalgia with pitched-up soulful vocal samples from CharvoniÕs feel-good classic house groover ÔAlways ThereÕ. Dreamy pads and playful vintage notes set the scene. Soothingly sustained vocals swim over raw, metallic, jungle-infused drums that introduce the sub-destroying drop. A certified rave anthem that will have all the heads entranced.
ÔWar DanceÕ raises adrenaline as Manchester-based Truthos Mufasa lays down slick and weighty bars that ricochet off skippy old skool-style drums right in the eye of the storm. Together, Unglued and Whiney conjure up bass-rumbling chaos as weÕre pushed Ôright off the tracksÕ with double-barrelled artillery in the heat of battle.
Charging in with twisted swagger, ÔGot 2 HaveÕ is a squelchy bass-ridden stepper that screams Unglued all over. While ÔPigeon FunkÕ swoops in and stares you down with electrically-charged squarks and funk-fuelled flare.
Introduced to jungle at an early age by his influential uncle Stoppy, Unglued demonstrates his ability to simultaneously stick and unpick these roots in his powerfully dynamic ÔTotal XTCÕ EP by fusing the old-skool style with his unique, forward-thinking flair.
UngluedÕs rise since his anthemic ÔIf We EverÕ remix, has brought in over a hundred intercontinental shows since 2019, and regular support from some of the biggest players in the game, including Andy C, Noisia and Randall. Unglued is no stranger to spins on national airwaves, with BBC Radio 1Õs Annie Mac awarding him Hottest Record In The World for ÔBorn In 94Õ, as well as regular support from Rene LaVice and Charlie Tee on Kiss Fresh. EveryoneÕs got their eyes stuck to Unglued!
