Over a series of tastemaker-supported releases and standout collaborations, London-based singer and producer/DJ duo #Deuce & #Charger have emerged as a fresh new sound in melodic drum and bass. Their combination of emotive songwriting and electro-inspired production described by Radio 1’s #Rene_LaVice as “very different, very unique - it’s cool!”
The dreamy '#Only_You_and_I' is the first track taken from #Deuce & #Charger's forthcoming #Lost_Together_Pt_1_EP on #Subsphere_Records, a shimmering collection of synth-driven vocal drum and bass tracks based on the themes of love, relationships and escapism.
Slowly rising on waves of sparkling analogue synths, the delicate vocals on '#Only_You_and_I' seem otherworldly. Intimate lyrics appear from clouds of swirling pads before drifting off into spacey delay FX. Gradually the track takes focus as intricate hi hat patterns and a filtered kick drum in the build lead to lift-off in the drop. Showing that #Deuce & #Charger have not neglected the club origins of the genre, the track enters orbit with surging bass, elevating synth patterns and a climactic vocal.
With '#Only_You_and_I', #Deuce & #Charger continue to map out a unique space in drum and bass, wrapping the freshest sounds in the genre around melodic songwriting with an emotional core. Calling to mind the classic chill-out atmosphere of acts like #London_Grammar, #Goldfrapp, #Air, #Royksopp and #Zero_7, #Deuce & #Charger bring a welcome new dimension to drum and bass perfect for post- rave listening and for chill playlists.
‘#Only_You_and_I’ follows a massive 2018 for #Deuce & #Charger with tracks being premiered on #Radio_1 and supported by #DJ_Mag, #Bassrush and #Most_Addictive, as well as A-list DJs including #Matrix & #Futurebound and #Drumsound & #Bassline_Smith. With previous releases on #Liquicity, #Viper and #Technique_Recordings, #Deuce & #Charger continue to rise from the underground of the scene. The duo’s idiosyncratic, song-led style fits perfectly with #Subsphere_Records who have worked with some of the best and brightest names in drum and bass since 2011, including #Feint, #Stan_SB (Fox Stevenson), #Keeno, #Whiney, #Moleman, #Indivision, #Veela, #Phase and more.
#Deuce & #Charger have been playlisted on #1Xtra, played on #Radio_1 (#Friction and #Rene_LaVice) and #Kiss_Fresh (Andi Durrant), featured in #Mixmag and #DJ_Mag, and championed by leading blogs, radio stations and channels including YourEDM.com, #Rough_Tempo, #Kool_FM, #Magnetic_Magazine, #Drum_and_Bass_HQ and #Skank_anf_Bass. The duo have also taken their unique live vocal/DJ set to the huge #Let_It_Roll summer festival and been remixed by #Dossa & #Locuzzed (#Viper), #Chords (#Ram_Records) and #Kronology (#Technique).
