Manchester veteran Zed Bias and MCs Trigga, Killa Benz, and Specialist Moss, a.k.a. Madd Again!, today shared the grooving lead single off their upcoming MaddTing Vol. 2.1 EP. “Brand New Dubplate” is built around a sample of a radio DJ talking amping up an unreleased song he’s about to play—a ritual familiar to anyone who has ever listened to UK dance music radio—and it finds the quartet flexing with their familiar hybrid of diffuse-yet-connected club sounds. Simply put, it’s song about soundsystem culture masterfully designed to flourish in said culture.
Madd Again! released their debut LP MaddTing Vol. 1 in 2015, and collaborated with UK garage veteran DJ Q on the “Breadline (Tings Are So Hard)” single last year.
