In what could well be described as an 'all star' linkup, Sam Binga links with Machinedrum and Cesco for the 'Niche Flex'. Bringing together three producers with distinct but overlapping approaches to club music, Niche Flex explores the increasingly fluid relationship between UK Garage, Broken Beat and Soundsystem Bassweight from one side of the Atlantic, and the rhythmic language of US Club music on the other. Swing, sub pressure and a distinctly UK-flavoured dancefloor focus meets the rhythmic energy and percussion of contemporary American Club sounds, creating something that feels rooted in both traditions without sitting neatly inside either. That transatlantic connection runs naturally through the artists involved, whether that be Sam Binga's Bristol foundations and long-standing dialogue with US club music, Machinedrum's impeccable history of pulling UK and American rhythmic forms into the same orbit, or Cesco's forward-facing take on UK bass. Released on vinyl and digital, 'Niche Flex' continues Pineapple Records' focus on collaborative, genre-fluid club music built for cutting edge DJs and dances, without ever being confined to a single lane.
