Ekko & Sidetrack provided the final part of Viper Recordings ‘Wizards of Aus’ EP with single ‘Banish’, another addition to a weighty history as part of the Viper Recordings camp. A duo who can claim a range of tastemaker support – from UKF to DJ Shock One – they’re two of the most sought-after names within the Australian drum & bass microcosm, with their music reaching an obviously worldwide audience. They’re the perfect duo to help represent their countries’ stake within the genre which was the premise behind the ‘Wizards of Aus’ EP. With waves of soaring synthesis carpet the intro, before dropping into lunging bass pads, Ekko & Sidetrack add a dancefloor smasher to the track list with ‘Banish’.
And to celebrate its release, we once again return for a ‘Ones to Watch’ feature where they breakdown the five artists who are featuring on their playlists right now. Grab a copy of the release here, and you can check out their selections below:
