Future riddim… what’s it? Properly, as a reasonably newly-prescribed style, we’re going to need to hear to seek out out. New label Halcyon, spearheaded by Oolacile, is pushing the brand new sound and simply dropped their debut compilation with SVDDEN DEATH, Voltra, Oolacile himself, Leotrix, Akeos & l7, phonon, Cripplingg, and BVSSIC.
