"Groove Content E.P."

EVM's music holds a fine balance between the contemporary and the classic

EVM's music holds a fine balance between the contemporary and the classic, between UK garage, broken hip-hop, and the vibe of reggae, house and soul, wrapped in velvety production and a technical style all of his own.
Title track 'Groove Content' has been a mainstay on Ross's weekly Ministry of sound show for six months, and it's now in the hands of Gilles Peterson who has already hailed it as a 'classic,' supporting it on his BBC Radio 1 show and tearing it up on the main stage at this years' Sonar Festival. Huw Stephens of Radio 1 also made EVM's remix of DJ Vadim's 'Elope' his Record of The Week back in Sept 2010.
The other tracks on the EP are of a more down beat nature but equally as inspiring; from the Dilla-esque, tech-hop of 'Falling' (which features EVM's vocal talents), to the vocodered groove of The 'Slow Jam' and the teched out boom-bap of 'D N A.' Liverpudlian vocalist Amy Wilson features and writes on the track 'Stay,' a reggae-inflected garage gem, plus the more forward thinking 'U Want More.' It's a diverse EP; Short and sweet and super catchy.
2012 looks set to be a big year for this guy. So far he's remixed ex-Zero 7 singer Sophie Barker, breakbeat whiz's Hyper, Island Records signed Kid Adrift and the aforementioned DJ Vadim. He has also produced a track for fellow Meltdown Music artist Afrikan Boy (the MC behind viral smash 'Lidl' and guest MC on MIA's Paper Planes).
