Little under a year since his exclusive signing to #RamRecords, an imprint handling one of the drum & bass genre’s most monumental catalogues, #Skantia is slowly growing to be the imprint’s most identifiable new face. With a roster that has spearheaded the label’s expansion and its reputation as a leading figure within dance music, this isn’t an easy feat. His succession of releases after being welcomed onto the #Ram moniker have enabled this ascent and following the likes of recent single ‘#UVRays’ and ‘#Allure’, #Skantia returns with another attention-grabbing release.
#Skantia represents the younger breed of artists currently infiltrating club spaces but he’s adding his own twist on current trends. Both ‘#Pheromone’ and ‘#DarkMatter’ exemplify #Skantia’s unique blend; a-side ‘#Pheromone’ bodes together a gritty display of hollowed kicks with crackling LFOs. Meanwhile, ‘#DarkMatter’ drives forward with a sense of urgency, amongst progressive clanks of percussion and punchy subs. #Skantia comes back to #Ram with the same intensity he injects into all his releases, alongside an output which is proving to be unstoppable.
