Within the last two years, there have been an onslaught of songs released under the category of “bass”. Often times producers assume that just because there is heavy sub low rattle, that constitutes for a good record. Then there are producers who have truly lived and experienced the culture through actively participating in it via raves, radio, and so forth. In the case of producer Akito, you can say that his ear for bottom end is a result of directly contributing to those very mediums previously described, with his Sub Skank collective. Sub Skank past parties around London have included guests such as Monki, Visionist, Shy One, and more. Now in 2014, Akito is set to release his forthcoming EP “Metamessange”.

Straddling between grime, stomping house, with even traces of dancehall, the “Metamessange EP” is collection of gun-fingers-in-the-air type club tunes that strikes with an unapologetic brashness. The record has already received support from the likes of Ikonika, Brackles, and Last Japan, just to name a few. Akito’s “Metamessange EP” is out 10th February 2014.
