about

Eastern Europe has often been a staple part of dance music. And in particular, it’s a section of the drum & bass world which sees more of the darkly lit, technical vibes which are prevalent throughout this year’s festival circuit, despite the sweeping stages which may have in the past played more commercial sounds. Over the years, newcomer artists like Santoku’s Living Plastic are making their presence more widely felt, with the Poland-based producer becoming a part of the US label’s growing roster. Having already released on labels such as Technique and Viper, his forthcoming release on Santoku will further push him into the spotlight. However it’ll show a totally different side to his production character, moving away from the liquid underpinnings he explores throughout his back catalogue and instead goes down a deeper route. Minimal, yet still aggressive, this single is one out of two which will be coming from Living Plastic and Santoku over the coming months.

’Hypa’ and ‘Fiks’ do damage without over stating their intentions and with the help of Santoku, Living Plastic is looking to continue to explore his sound. ‘Hypa’ brings artist Straight into the fray for a rolling, underground record filled with stabs of sonic distortion and the layers of bass heavy chaos. Straight and Living Plastic make welcome collaborators as they push forward with the type of energy which flows without restraint through club speakers but also gradually builds as it becomes more and more over powering. It’s a track which gradually creeps up, before taking hold and not allowing you to break free from its grasps. On the reverse, ‘Fiks’ moves forward with the same precision, cutting deep with every segment as it gradually envelops you in its technicality. With its pitched vocal samples and melodies which sit beneath the mix, it presents a mixture of dark and light. This perfect balance of elements shows why there’s an excitement growing around Living Plastic. It’s why he’s sure to become an important part of the scene; first throughout the US market and then across the wider scope which labels like Santoku have at their disposal.
