TAKECast 4.0 & Free EP

Came across this nugget of gold whilst browsing the good folk over on Bassmusicblog. To say thanks for the support in the label's first year, the fine folk at TAKE have decided to give away a free EP of their trademark deep electronic dancefloor treats. It's a varied affair, taking in narcotic slow motion house from bright young things Colo, a masterful fusion of techno & garage from Jack Dixon, melodic Detroit meets Chicago vibes from the astute James Fox and an expertly constructed update of the deep d&b sound from Oxford's own Mr. Lager.

Incorporating deep shuffly detroit house, courtesy of James Fox, for those long dark winter nights, this deep, melodic and soulful plethora of UK bass music couldn't be easier to get. Simply visit takerecords for an automatic download after previewing it below.

To accompany the release, the label have also issued the fourth in their podcast series, the TAKECast.
