Say EP – Cubiq [Hidden]
The 20th of December will see Oxford duo Cubiq release “Say”, their debut EP on Hidden Label.
Despite their youth and relatively unknown status, these two are seriously big-hitters and have gathered a pretty serious fanbase throughout the blogosphere. This is partly due to their prolific rate of production; the last 6 months have seen a medley or bootlegs, originals and remixes surfacing to continued acclaim, but primarily it reflects the quality they bring to the table. And, with their newest single, “Say”, it would appear these boys have struck gold. Amongst the resounding similarity of current house music, Say is so utterly unique you can’t help but take notice.
It is so refreshing to hear a song which does not sound like it was spawned from the unbelievably ubiquitous “Your Everything”, and instead relies on superb musicality and creativity to make its point. Say brims with the kind of originality that only genuine musicians could bring to the table. The song is designed around De Souza’s haunting and hilarious vocal, which resonates from start to finish to maximum effect. ‘Catchy’ would do this song a massive injustice, it is infectious, and reflects the production skill these boys put into their music (Both a studying Music at highly respectable institutions). Say is the obvious showpiece of the EP, but it is supported by two other tracks of solid stature. Their other original input into the EP, “June Moon”, is a punchy number, and provides a great addition to the EP. So to does their collaboration with Timmy Perry, which speeds things up a bit, steaming along with some garage-esque pace.
