Kobe JT showcases his sonic malleability on TINWHITE011: a tight 4-track EP which guides its listener assertively around the scene-defining avenues of UKG, from melodic garage house to dark two-step swings.

Blissful piano chords, vocal chops and skipping house rhythm imbue the opening track, ‘All I Do’ with a soulful, uplifting groove. Equally as driven by melody, ‘Next DJ’ makes room for more dynamic lower-ends as Kobe teams up with Northern force, The Phat Controlla, to deliver a club-ready speed garage banger. The record’s second half exposes the darker underbelly of Kobe’s sound: hostile sub groans shade the stripped-back stepper ‘Lost In The Club’ whilst the fragmented vocals on ‘Hope’ lends the EP’s full-bodied closer with an uneasy intensity.
