ACTIVIA BENZ IS HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE ITS NEXT RELEASE, THE "HIGHER LEARNING" EP FROM

ABERDEEN'S LOCKAH AND ATLANTA'S TASTE TESTER, OUT JUNE 24th ON ACTIVIA BENZ BANDCAMP AND

JULY 1st GLOBALLY AT ALL DIGITAL RETAILERS. THESE TRANSATLANTIC TALENTS HAVE PUT TOGETHER A

FANTASTIC RECORD OF HEAVY HIP-HOP/R&B INSPIRED CUTS, READY FOR THE CLUB AND/OR A PICNIC

WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

"HIGHER" KICKS OFF THE EP ON AN ANTHEMIC HANDS-IN-THE-AIR NOTE, TRANSITIONING INTO "U DON'T

KNOW ME", WHICH TAKES A SMOOTHER TURN WITH AN INFECTIOUS VOCAL HOOK AND AN UPTEMPO

SWITCH UP TO GET BODIES MOVING. "LEARN FROM US" IS A HEAD NODDER WITH NOODLEY ARPEGGIOS

AND HARD HITTING DRUMS, WHILE "THE END" GETS A LITTLE MORE EMOTIONAL WITH SOME SMOOTH 80's

KEYS AND A SYNTH LINE YOU'LL BE WHISTLING ON THE NIGHT BUS HOME.

ON REMIX DUTIES, SOUTH LONDON NEWCOMER DJ DJ BOOTH TACKLES "HIGHER", TURNING IT INTO A

WEIRD AND INFECTIOUS HOUSE/RAP PARTY. NORWAY'S SLICK SHOOTA TWISTS UP "U DON'T KNOW ME"

INTO A MELLOW AND SUPER VIBEY JUKE MOMENT.

Activia Benz building up a nice catalog here with releases like this. Was already a fan of Lockah, now into Taste Tester thanks to you guys. Happy to support this! - Kerem Gokmen Dubmission - WYEP Pittsburgh

Summer Vibes - Starkey Planet Mu

9/10 - SLICK! - Tim Parker You'll Soon Know / NTS Radio

slick shoota mix will go into my set and/or mixtapes - Robot Koch Project Mooncircle

Super dope DJ ammo! - Kid Kanevil

10/10 Nice one! - Broken Haze

U Don't Know Me' and 'Learn From Us' are definitely the top two tunes for me from the four originals, they are both a great mix of upfront production and pop sensibilities, really solid work. I've yet to hear a Slick Shoota remix I don't like and his streak continues here - super vibes on his ultra hype juke template. Solid! - Cosby Car Crash Set

u dont know me & the end = amazing! - Joscha Creutzfeldt UpMyAlley
