Backdraft’s first single from their new album is out NOW. “9th Floor” features stunning vocals by Ebere in a haunting dubstep trouser flapper which is getting rave reviews from those ’special’ enough to have received a copy.

Fave quote so far from Torqux…”This tunes bigger than a blue whale’s thingy”.On the flipside we have Solja in the bass heavy squabbling party stomper “I wanna rock” We’ve got Future Funk Squad & Dogmatix who have delivered 2 stupidly heavy remixes…..Out in April here on the website & in all good record shops from May.

Backdraft
I Wanna Rock/9th Floor (Beat Bazaar)
Backdraft have long been dutifully ploughing the tear-out fields virtually anonymously, but here, in advance of their ‘We Know Where You Live’ album, they drop a double-headed single and come out sounding like a Zane Lowe band. Cheekz and Solja exchange catchy MC interplay, rolling out the rhymes for a hype track that’ll sound great on the radio. Dogmatix supplies a disappointing club mix, while ‘9th Floor’ is a bombastic trip-hop effort featuring Ebere that Future Funk Squad peak-times up into a screamer. Backdraft: moving out of the shadows.
4/5 stars
