Two sought after artists, Deft and Manni Dee, combine their uniquely eclectic sounds on collaborative EP 'Swamp Season' arriving on Hooversound in March 2025.Deft, a familiar favorite within the Hooversound family having released two EP's on the label, is no stranger to breaking boundaries when it comes to sonic stereotypes. Enter: Manni Dee. Another equally exciting name on the London circuit who is an advocate for non-conformism. Between them they have released on Exit, 1985 Music, Critical and Fabric Originals - their style has been recognized globally and continues to grow. Both creatives bring something refreshingly new to the table, whether it's with their amalgam style of music making, their esteemed record platforms (Silk + Steel, B4 Music) or their DJ sets - it makes perfect sense for the duo to unite on their vision.Their latest offering combines their boundaryless artistic style of forward-thinking atmospheric production on an EP named 'Swamp Season'. The two producers play with different elements of club music and hip hop by blurring genres and throwing the rule book out of the window. The end result highlights how Deft and Manni Dee have excelled once again across five bass-fuelled tracks which will expand your perspective on electronic music.On their single, the duo said 'Charged' was the last track we wrote for the EP. Rooted in the simplicity of 00's hip hop instrumentals, on steroids, adapted with the wider electronic sphere in mind. Inspired by the past and present, facing the future.'Deft and Manni Dee also explained how they came to collaborate; 'We've always shared the same taste in hip hop and electronic music, and also share a studio together underneath FOLD in Canning Town, so it just made sense for us to make a record together. Our process was creatively free with no preconceptions, having worked together remotely and together across multiple studios around the world. The result has created a new and exciting avenue for us both, opening the floodgates to eliminate boundaries. It's Swamp Season.'Tracklisting:A1. Busy Bee A2. Charged B1. Creep B2. Witchlead B3.
