Bristol hip-hop duo Ree-Vo drop the first of three releases in 2022 beginning with this stunning mix of original tracks, remixes and collaborations. Newark, NJ's Dälek (Will Brooks, Deadverse) drags T. Relly's growl through the quicksand, a cacophony of whiplashed beats and visceral loops spurring our protagonist on. It's a gaggle of Ghostface Killas trapped in a hall of mirrors; it's next door's MBV heard through the walls whilst submerged in a low-lit bathtub. And Wu Tang are pulling the plug out. Kevin Martin, aka The Bug, released one of 2021's most fierce and focused albums with Fire on Ninja Tune. In his hands "Protein" becomes a submarine bass, head n' rig wrecker opting for more of his hooky "In Blue" style Bug mix. As Kevin eludes -- "to my fantastical mind it sounds like Bug dirt'n'grind Vs Yin Yang Twins' swagger and Neptunes funk." Eight track, very limited CD release featuring Surgeon, The Bug, Dälek and Rob Smith (RSD, one half of Smith and Mighty) along with two original exclusives by Ree-Vo mastered by Stefan Betke (aka Pole).

Ree-Vo are rapper T. Relly and DJ, producer Andy Spaceland. Relly is known in the Bristol community for his links to the city's major club nights, compering stages at St Paul's Carnival, his classic 2018 LP with DJ Rogue (Let Them Know) and his passionate social work with Bristol's most disadvantaged. Andy (Spaceland) Jenks has been involved in Bristol bass music beginning with Static Sound System and a collaborative 12" with Rudy Tambala (A.R Kane) before his group Alpha was signed to Massive Attack's label Melankolic (also becoming one of their tour DJs). He also currently releases music with US producer Butch Vig and is working on new tracks with Mark Stewart (The Pop Group).
