Krakota - XYLO / Irregular

Debut 12 release from Hospital's latest signing Krakota sees the Bournemouth based youngster flex his musical muscles with two contrasting tracks of quality nu-school d+b magic.

Instantly recognisable thanks to it's infectious percussive riff (the clue's in the title), Xylo is a syncopated stepper which drops hard thanks to a rugged rumbling off beat sub.

Irregular switches the story with stacato synth work and angry angular beats.

With early releases on Critical, Ingredients, Subtitles and the mighty Playaz label, not to mention two tracks on Hospitals epic 'We Are 18' compilation at the start of this year, Krakota can count Friction, Fabio and Crissy Criss as fans.
