Candidate & Saigon land on Andhera with Chase The Ace, a sharp two-track delivery built on groove, control, and late-night intent. 'Chase The Ace' hits with punch from the outset, driven by a thick bass foundation and crisp, forward-leaning percussion. Subtle rhythmic switches and cool vocal touches keep the energy moving without distraction, letting attitude and momentum lead the way. Direct, efficient, and engineered to do damage on the floor. On 'Situation,' Candidate takes the reins solo, settling into a deeper hypnotic pocket. A steady low-end pulse meets tight drum work and a bouncy rhythmic flow, while restrained tonal details keep everything sleek and purposeful. Calm, focused, and primed for sustained pressure deep into the night. Liverpool-born Candidate has quickly become one of the UK underground's most talked-about names, armed with a recognisable hip-house edge and a run of releases on Hottrax, Nexup, Three Six Zero, and Belief, including a Beatport #1 with Bass Revolution. His music continues to receive backing from leading selectors such as Jamie Jones, Archie Hamilton, East End Dubs, ALISHA, and Max Dean, while his touring has brought him to rooms including Lab 11, 93 Feet East, Depot Cardiff, and international dates like After Caposile in Italy. Beyond releases, he has also contributed production knowledge through Josh Baker's Syntho platform and launched his own tools via Samplemarket, reinforcing his growing influence across the scene. Also representing Liverpool, Saigon has built momentum through releases on Belief, Range, Dansu Discs, Resonance, Nature, TSZ, and Glasgow Underground to name a few. His tracks have been supported by names including Marco Carola, Pawsa, Chris Stussy, ANOTR, Josh Baker, Prunk, and Sidney Charles, while performances connected to brands and venues such as Defected in Ibiza, Music On, No Art, You&Me, Eastenderz, and The Warehouse Project continue to expand his international profile. With Chase The Ace, Candidate & Saigon slot seamlessly into the forward-thinking identity of Ky William's Andhera, delivering two cuts that prioritise rhythm, movement, and dancefloor function above all else.
