Now that Disclosure are on the radio as much as Katy Perry in the United States, us cool kids have been forced to try a little harder to justify our hitler youth haircuts. Thankfully, THUMP and UK’s Madtech Records are colluding to bring you No Artificial Colours’ The Menace EP exclusively and track by track over the coming weeks, so your fancypants barber can breathe easy.
The Southeast London duo of Lewis Wright and Ryan Ellis seem to have an effortless grasp on a range of deep vibes, from garage to house and back again, and this EP finds them flexing their fingers in a way that suggests big moves. They’ve already released on PMR (Disclosure, Cyril Hahn, Jessie Ware), and this release finds them on house legend Kerri Chandler’s Madtech.

“The Menace” is spooky and soulful and has us salivating for the rest of the EP. Keep your ears peeled for the next installment.
The Menace is out on Madtech on August 25th.
