It's been nearly three years(!) since DJ Impact's Highly Swung Records put out new music. Responsible for heaters from the likes of MPH, Phonetix, Kindred Soul, Danny Phillips & more; the label historically piggy-backed off the back of Impact's infamous & highly-respected Flex FM show. So when he ceased broadcasting some time back (a moment which caused true fans of NUKG everywhere to shed a tear), all went seemingly quiet on the release front as well...
Until now, that is. In a surprising turn, the label's socials were mysteriously abuzz once more this week with news of a forthcoming release entitled 'Stolen Beats' - from none other than Gary Esson. Also known as G.E., Mr Esson has been a consistent presence in UKG for quite some time & here at NUKG 24/7 we've enjoyed following his music since Garage's Lost Years. He mixes things up, but is a dab-hand with that vintage bumpy 4x4 sound in particular: & that's exactly the vibe Highly Swung have teased for this upcoming release.
Whether this release marks the return of a once prominent force in NUKG or is a one-&-done situation remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure - we'll be watching to see! Keep it locked to nukg247.com for more information in realtime.
