EP

Johnny Phethean aka Schuttle, born in Newcastle and now based in Manchester, heads up Bakk Heia's debut offering with a 4-track EP, following a 6-track cassette released through London/Paris label Panatype, which ranked highly in Boomkat's ambient charts and received a sterling review from Resident Advisor. The A side starts with the fractured and angular expanse of Grade 1, which gives way to the meditative percussion of Speke. Over on the B, Utensil delivers a club focused acidic tonker, with Grade 2 providing the gentle reprise. Schuttle's music is as much built for the dance floor as it is shaped for the introspective listener - raw and tender in equal measure.
