This time I’m happy to introduce you the new name on the future bass scene, a young talent – Troy Gunner! and his debut 12″ forthcoming on Mindset Records. In his teenage years Troy Gunner shows us some grown-up quality working on his sound design, creating pure textures and a unique sonic collage. Creatively connecting tiny future garage beats, vocal manupulations and funk melodies, he builds his own brand sound.

some nice description about EP from the label:

‘Fool’s Gold’ opens the 12 with sparse 2-step rhythms, heavy swing and lush chords spread across the stereo field. The melodic hook gets you every time and the use of technical edits and cuts gives it a character that is hard to match. Driving forward with a very interesting arrangement, stopping and starting – keeping you on your toes but never losing the pulse. ‘Head in Hands’  is a subdued, triplet infested syncopation workout. Still enough to cut it in the club, but holding its own for the listen at home, it oozes passion. Sliding pads and glitched out beats whisk you away into a dreamy, spaced out state. This one gives the feeling of lounging on a cloud of smoke floating through space – one for the astral travelers. ‘Dancing in the Leaves’ picks the pace back up as a chilled roller, with a drop that will make you weak at the knees. Falling to nothing but the pad and sub bass, with a twinkling melody to accompany. Moving with dance floor shuffle and a gradual progression, but with a calmness and groove to get locked into. Beautifully crafted and bursting at the seams with positive energy, to take you on a vibes rollercoaster!
