A dry, rolling low-end anchors the new Bill Spice EP, pushing the groove forward without ever crowding the mix. The bass weight sits back in the pocket, leaving headroom for the melodic elements to do their work—a production choice that feels built for long transitions rather than quick drops. It’s the kind of groove that locks a room in without shouting for attention, a steady pulse that leaves room for the melodies to breathe.
There’s a coastal ease to the record, a sense of open-air warmth that nods to early UK house without getting stuck in nostalgia. The clean swing and melodic warmth have drawn comparisons to Metro Area, though the production feels more like a modern distillation than a direct homage. A subtle acid flicker and a dubwise spaciousness keep the energy buoyant rather than aggressive, letting each element find its own pocket.
Second (Summer of Love) EP arrives July 24th, and it’s the kind of record that suits DJs building a set from late afternoon into evening, where the energy needs to rise without rushing. The tracks feel equally at home on a terrace as in a club, offering a patient, unhurried pulse that rewards attention. It’s a tool for selectors who value texture over tempo, and for listeners who want their house music with a sense of place.
