It's not that often an EP comes along with a genuinely unique vibe, but this one from Droma and James Timms absolutely has accomplished that, with the former on productions and the latter on vocals throughout. Normally EPs like this sit within one subgenre, but the pair here move around between frolicking liquid and bassier territory, a combination done particularly well on 'Hold Up', which features upbeat sampling and jazzy notes overlaid onto a subby foundation. Timms is fantastic throughout, and we especially love his contribution to Tears For You, which by all accounts is a proper rip roarer. Big ups.

With Summer in full swing, VIRAL-MENTAL RECORDS delivers a sublime selection of blues tinged, vocal drum & bass anthems-in-the-making from label mainstay DROMA and guest vocalist JAMES TIMMS. We are first introduced to 'TEARS FOR YOU' tells a story of love lost, backed by a frantic 2-step break pattern peppered with amen inserts and lush, emotive pads that are guaranteed to move your soul.
Up next the hard-hitting, liquid funk fusion of 'RUN AWAY' with it's expert use of soothing synth sounds and adrenalising drum programming.
The ruff and smooth sounds of 'HOLD UP' brings the collection to a perfect close A potent blend of rolling breaks and warm bass notes accompanied by JAMES' uplifting, soulful vocals. If you're looking to create a soundtrack for those incoming, dusky, Summer evenings then you need this EP in your playlist!!!
