Bubble On by Atki2

Atki2 is an unsung Bristol legend who flips effortlessly between house, soca, dubstep, dancehall, jungle, IDM, and ambient, with the output always bearing his distinctive sound. He has released on Idle Hands, Punch Drunk, Werk Discs, and Maximum Airtime, plus an acclaimed ambient album (2019’s Requiem). He also throws Ruffnek Diskotek, a Bristol nightlife institution currently in its 19th year, and co-hosts the weekly Super Soca Show on Bristol radio station Ujima 98FM.

Bubble On is a collection of dreamy dancehall instrumentals from his “Swim Club” series, now available for the first time on streaming and digital platforms. These tunes have the rhythmic sensibility of classic tin-pan dancehall, the sound palette of '00s post-dubstep and '90s electronica, and the hazy atmosphere of queer after-afterhours day parties.

Special thanks to Dave Oslek (Frijsfo Beats) for believing in my music, for all the advice and compiling the album's track order; and to Chrissy for help in distro and the rest x
