Wallwork & Nico Lindsay 'Facts/Fyah' (Black Acre)
Nervous Horzion co-head Wallwork has been rewriting the club music rulebook for a minute now, and he certainly doesn’t hold back on his debut for Black Acre. With the help of grime MC Nico Lindsay, he explores more experimental zones, particularly on super-minimal drum workout ‘Facts’, which is tackled by nonchalant, near-horizontal verses by Lindsay. But our tip is ‘Fyah’, a fierce twist on original UK funky defined by angular bass tones and fizzing rhythm that Lindsay navigates with unerring confidence.
