Hailing from London, Bullion is an up-and-coming producer who earlier this year dropped an EP titled Young Heartache.
And wow.
When people compare you to Hudson Mohawke, Samiyam, Flying Lotus, Boards of Canada and Dorian Concept, you know you are doing something right. And while all these comparisons are valid, Bullion manages to bring a fresh new style to the instrumental glitchy beats scene that is constantly impressing.
Sampling old pop records, adding hip-hop beats, and some garage and disco influences proves to be an absolutely winning combo, resulting in a very unique EP that will appeal to fans of the aforementioned artists, as well as fans of electronic music in general. The fact that Busy P, Mr. Scruff, Mary Anne Hobbs and the Gaslamp Killer are all fans gives an indication of just how good his music is.
While the stand-out for me has to be Young Heartache, a bumping hip-hop, electro, garage infused track that bangs along in a chopped up yet very coherent style, all four tracks are absolutely gold (no pun intended) and leave all that listen waiting with baited breath for a full album.
Bullion is definitely "the one, to keep your eyes on".
