Young Brixton producer PhOtOmachine recently released his second EP through fledgling imprint 2020 Midnight Vision, a joint project between Somethinksounds and Leeds label 2020Vision. “Throb” is one of the records’ four tracks, and sees PhOtOmachine blending the percussive intricacies of UK bass with vocal stylings reminiscent of old-school Chicago house. The song’s tempo rests at a typical house speed, and incorporates sounds appropriate for a late night in the Midwest, but also employs a syncopated, garage-style drum pattern that betrays PhOtOmachine’s London roots. The On U EP is out now, and can be streamed in full after the jump.
