One of the most promising new artists from one of UK dance music’s most prolific cities, Artifact debuted with ‘Archaic Line’ in early 2012, a single that was enough to prompt an immediate signing to Elastic Artists and a full-length interview on Resident Advisor.
A subsequent free single ‘Brittle Bones’ featured heavily in the sets of Mosca, Mary Anne Hobbs and more, and now Artifact releases his first full 12” for Local Action (home of DJ Q, T. Williams, Throwing Snow), a club-focused amalgamation of swung techno, garage and more, with nods to the UK’s oft-forgotten bassline house scene. It’s the strongest statement yet from one of dance music’s best prospects.
