Tengu’s ‘Heavyweight Material’ demonstrates why he’s a rising name within drum & bass. Alongside a high-quality production standard and an unforgiving take on dancefloor-orientated beats, he’s given himself full creative freedom through his brand-new single ‘Heavyweight Material’. Hailing from Brighton, he’s become a mainstay name across Europe, with credible releases on the likes of UKF, ViperRecordings, DeVice, Korsakov and Crucast, paying homage to UK bass sounds. This continues with ‘Heavyweight Material’, which punches through alongside guttural bass chugs and articulated, sharp drum sequences as it takes you out into its darkly woven composition.
Already boasting support from tastemakers such as BBC Radio 1 and KissFM, ‘Heavyweight Material’ follows the same patterns that have enabled him to graduate onto stages such as Korsakov’s. With much more on the horizon, the homegrown hero pushes forward with his meteoric ascent. Something demonstrated throughout ‘Heavyweight Material’ as it becomes a staple across DJs set lists this festival season.
