What a combo we have here as Holding Hands invite the ever-ready sounds of Yosh into the mix and blend for a four track showcase, exploring the more delicate side of modern UKG. The title track ‘The Hype’ is an excellent way to kick us off, as layer upon layer of glittering percussive brilliance provide this one with a spectacular sense of groove, followed by the syncopated chord delays and breaksy style sampling of ‘Jah Said’, swinging the EP down a completely different avenue. From here, ‘Warp Speed’ takes us down a bit of a nostalgic avenue as pleasing organ plucks and skippy rhythms give the track a real dancefloor energy, followed closely by the stunning soundscaping and general harmonic structuring of ‘Pull Up’, to put the finishing touches on this absolute gem of an EP.
