Vienna-based record label Studio Bahöö return with the head-scrambling ‘Rug Rally‘ EP from elusive producer Rigby on the Run.
Better known for navigating the shuffle-heavy grids of UK Garage via London-based record label Part Four, Rigy on the Run trades in jungle-friendly swagger and R&B, reassembling breaks into fast-lane flashbacks and caffeinated club assaults. ‘Rug Rally‘ displays the producer’s remarkable ability to captivate our minds.
Our pick for the premiere is closing track ‘River Lea‘. During the opening scene, the track starts with vaporous vocals drifting over glistening pads. The floor soon gives way to pummeling drum clusters and MIDI sparkle, unfurling into a vision of a river that glows. Somewhere between lament and looped ecstasy, River Lea feels like the emotional encore to a night spent chasing transcendence under the city’s lights.
‘Rug Rally’ EP is scheduled for release 25 June via Studio Bahöö. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
