Deft

Deft’s “Two Years” (Hooversound HOO19) crystallizes the London producer’s hybrid language: 140 swagger smudged with jungle memory, footwork flicker and cinematic pads. It’s club‑first music with hi‑fi depth—razor hats and sub pressure snapping under melodies that feel windswept and nocturnal. Teased in SHERELLE and NAINA’s sets before release, the EP plays like a compact DJ kit: rollers for the peak, mood pieces for the in‑between. Pressed tough and clear, it proves Deft’s knack for drum architecture and mood is second to none.
