First Circle by First Circle

The second instalment from Precious Metals sees another debut from a South London artist, Peckham’s First Circle. Their self titled EP is a blistering and vital rush of corrosive synths, metal guitar riffs and booming baselines. An urgent and foreboding record that establishes him at the forefront of underground club music.

First Circle is an anarchic and fierce distillation of genre, both urgent and intoxicating, combining the gritty synths of a squat rave with the clean sonorous 808’s of UK Drill. In his own words, ‘these tunes are definitely for a rig, and the mud floor of a former wrecking yard’. Creating a cinematic depiction of a brutal future London, interspersed with moments of hope and pathos. A technological punk dystopia, sitting somewhere between Tank Girl and Existenz.

With a focus on emotionally led dysfunctional club music that reflects the cross-pollination of sounds of the inner-city. With the ambition to shine a light to artists that have yet to be unearthed, and to reflect the true unruliness of the underground.
