Top Pick: Hector Plimmer ‘Eastern System’
Producer and DJ Hector Plimmer is good...real good. In fact, the South London native was aiming at pushing the boundaries of music with tracks like 'Circle Square Triangle', literally 3 years back. Having tapped into electronica/future jazz hybrids with 'Personal Paradise', and more notably blowing fans away with his cut 'Tomorrow', which was feature on Gilles Peterson's 'Brownswood Bubblers Vol. 11' back in 2014, Plimmer continues to produce forward-thinking music with his 'Eastern System' EP, out on one of our choice labels, Albert’s Favourites. Doing what he does best, which is to blend multiple styles and sounds, practically erasing the idea of genre, the record captures snapshots of tribal rhythms integrated with unorthodox electronica and up-rock breakbeats, totally spawning a fresh and innovative release that sounds nothing like anything out at the moment. Hector Plimmer has definitely scored a big win with this release. Have a listen.
