Broodlings "Fading"

Words: Glenn Jackson
Label: Embassy

Atlanta's Embassy imprint is still relatively fresh on the scene, but the young label has already started to carve a place for itself within the world of Stateside bass music thanks to its inventive and forward-thinking takes on juke. Embassy's next endeavor, which sees a release tomorrow, taps a burgeoning producer from its own scene, Broodlings, who infuses a decent amount of soul (via some skillful sample chopping) into his juke/footwork-infused compositions throughout his forthcoming five-track EP (artwork above). "Fading" is one such example, and sees the Atlanta resident utilizing a reconfigured soul sample and slightly off-kilter digital synth loops to serve as the song's melodic and chordal cues while Broodlings' 808 percolations give the track a steady, infectious bounce.
