New one from Earl P, making what he calls ‘tunes in the realms of breaks and progression’. His music ranges from drum and bass to hip-hop to almost future-garage minimalism with a subtle touch and precise technical ability.

Lots more of this kind of stuff on his Soundcloud, and all of it fresh and original sounding and many with free downloads (including this one). Definitely worth a follow.

Earl.
Post bootcamp it will be interesting to see what new material he’s got. He definitely seems to have grown up a bit and got more serious judging from Home and his verse on Oldie, but only the release of a full new mixtape will show if he’s still got it or not.
I’m guessing he does.
