Uniting thick bass kicks with playful melodies and clangs of percussion, last year's EZY was a highlight for DJ/producer/vocalist/label boss Nina Las Vegas, with the electrifying club banger dominating as one of the strongest of that year. Since then, the globe-trotting Australian taste-maker has branched out and stepped away from the clubby experimentation of EZY a little, with last month's emotive Deserts combining a more accessible vocal line with a bubbly, yet far more mature banging breakdown. That said, her latest release - the dense and clanging instrumental Freeze - contrasts Deserts by returning to her lively, energetic club sound, a sound which she says aims to "provide plenty of bass and energy, without being too bro-y". Freeze does exactly that, blending an airy, almost Sinjin Hawke-like melody with dense layers of heaving bass and quick-firing percussion claps which keep the track focused and steady. Listen to the single below, which arrives through her constantly-delivering NLV Records.
