Still leading the charge of UK's underground house scene, since 2007, the duo Niall Dailly and Ben Geffins (aka Jack Beats), just released their two-track EP, Work It. Both tracks, "Work It" and "Intermission," provide an adventurous mix of different influences from smooth hip-hop samples to rapid drum and bass leans. Jack Beat's explorative approach to house music allows them to keep the same bass-heavy sound that's beginning to flood the airwaves over the past few years still sounding fresh. This EP drips in groovy new baselines that intertwine with both dark and upbeat deep house tempos.
