#90 Top Releases in UK Garage / Bassline

Its an honour to welcome a master of the craft to the Rarebit family. James View delivers his Thats Not Garage EP-two tracks brimming with the distinctive sound weve been fans of for some time now. First up, Thats Not Garage-with its tongue-in-cheek title-cleverly weaves together elements of grime, garage, and house, throwing them into a melting pot to produce a slick, silky, fast-paced minimal roller. This one lights up dance floors (tried and tested) and has those in the know singing along. Next, the aptly named Beauty & The Beast adds a touch of class to this tale of two tracks. View flexes his prowess with a cool, elegant number. Tickling both the ears and the ivories, this track will have you swaying before you raise your hands to that unmistakable JV sound weve all come to know and love. At a time when minimal, tech, house, and garage are being blended across dance floors worldwide, nobody does it quite like James View. This clever and classy EP will have you flipping back and forth trying to choose a favourite-but one things for sure: both tracks will be staples in DJ sets for years to come.
