Brackles (aka Rob Kemp)’s duties as a regular warm up DJ at the infamous London Dubstep Night FWD, as well as regular appearances on Rinse FM have earned him a reputation as a skilled selector and man of good taste. Inspired by all the good stuff – Slimzee, Horsepower, Dilla, El-B, MJ Cole – Brackles is probably the best DJ around right now. With a sound a million miles away from the blokey, sludgy going rate of dubstep, this kid effortlessly incorporates funky, rolling grime, vintage 2-step and bassline into his impossibly energetic, elastic sets. Following on from releases on Berkane Sol, Pollen and Apple Pips Brackles makes his debut appearance for Planet Mu with his 12″ LHC. Silky smooth synthlines bob and weave around a seasick rolling bass like the tide coming in. Street Fighter, on the flip, a collaboration with Shortstuff (aka Richard Attley) brings us a tuffer beat. With grimey bass and a lolloping rhythm it’s in the details that these boys shine…
