BOCA 45 - Turn It Up Loud!

Over recent months and years, Bristol-based DJ/producer Boca 45 has served up more donuts than an average branch of Krispy Kreme. To continue the metaphor, we’d say that his latest – which features guest rapper Craig G on side A – is one of those ‘premium’ ones with fancy glazing and a gooey centre. “Turn It Up Loud” certainly delivers in instant hit of energy and a sugar-rush, with Craig G turning hype man over a notably crunchy, early Beastie Boys inspired beat from Boca 45. Flipside “Blow Your Mind” delivers similarly sweaty and crunchy drums, with rock riffs and breakbeat lifts being joined by tight scratches and all manner of dusty-fingered vocal samples. Just like a real donut, it will leave you bloated but happy.
