Though grime is obviously dominating right now, there's still a ravenous appetite for all things UKG—just look at Kurupt FM. The sound's never really gone away in the UK, in spite of one or two lulls over the years, and London outfit essess know this, dropping their MALIKA collab and UK garage celebration: "Trust In Me". If the name essess is familiar to you, it's most likely because of their well-timed and spot-on remix of Kyla's rejuvenated "Do You Mind" this summer. On "Trust In Me", they draft in singer MALIKA to lace the golden era-nodding melodies and punchy drum line with her agile voice. Watch above, as the João Retorta-directed video plays out like a voyage through the vaults of UKG.
