Oh My!

As solo artists Tyke and Prestige have been hard at work over the last couple of years refining their brands of infectious dancefloor Drum and Bass. In recent months this hard worked as really started to pay dividends, with Tyke grabbing a spot on Andy C's huge Nightlife 5 album on Ram Records, and Prestige catching the attention of Distorted Minds with releases through their D-Style label group. After linking up online, and despite living thousands of miles apart - Tyke is UK based, while Prestige is flying the flag for Russian D&B - they realised that together two heads were better than one and started collaborating. Plays from Grooverider, Hazard, Nicky Blackmarket and more suggest they're doing something right! These two tracks strip back dancefloor D&B to its rawest and funkiest roots and fit perfectly with the Grid sound. "Oh My!" combines marching beats, cheeky vocal samples and 50's b-movie horn stabs with a rumbling bline to create classic uptempo, upbeat dancefloor D&B. "Awful" sticks with the old skool movie influenced samples, with urgent strings, film noir vocal snippets and an infectious swing beat jump up smasher.
