Intercept welcomes Destrata with his debut EP for the label: Squib. Over three tracks, the Vancouver based artist shows you his take on UK influenced bass and techno.

The title track ‘Squib’ is Eli’s first foray in 4×4 music and showcases his talent for energetic moves whilst still retaining a taste for detail. With a lead built out of a twisted vocal sample and a bass that’s as grooving as it is chest pumping, it perfectly sets the tone for the EP.

‘U4ia’ is next up and is built around the idea to run all percussive hits through different colorful delays and reverbs. Gritty textured bass stabs act as a counterpoint to the heavy kick pattern. Combined with the ever shifting hi-hats the track feels oddly tribal without stepping
into clichés.

‘What Dreams Are Made Of’ ends this banging EP, but delivers something different. Destrata forms a bridge between the current wave of mutant dancehall and higher tempo Latin American inspired club tracks. It showcases his feeling for off kilter rhythms and bass even more.

We couldn’t be happier to have Destrata on the label, be sure to keep an eye out for what’s to come.
