Tomorrow, Skream will release his brand new EP, Chesters Groove. Another glowing example of Oliver Jones’ powerful house and techno output, the project is a landmark one for the Croydon native as it marks the inaugural release of his newly-minted label, IFEEL.
The new EP comes complete with the original, which you can hear below, along with two remixes from Berghain resident and Berlin legend Norman Nodge. A powerful behemoth of a track, it’s a relentless tidal wave of 4x4 thump, hands-in-the-air euphoria, and sweaty intensity.
The IFEEL label is a bit of a passion project for Skream, who hopes that the outlet will give him (and the artists he connects with) the freedom to do whatever he pleases. A few months ago, he wrote on Twitter that he’d been producing “Indie, 170/Autonomic, House, Techno, Dubstep, 02/03 FWD style, Electro...” so an anything-goes platform of his own was long overdue.
Speaking in more detail on IFEEL, Skream tells Complex: “Over the years I have pushed myself to explore genres and the production techniques involved as I grow. I wanted to create a label that is just for my own production, in any genre I feel like, whilst bringing in artists I really admire and hope to enjoy the ride.”
“Chesters Groove” officially drops tomorrow (May 21) on IFEEL. Pre-save it here.
