The Allergies - Beneath This Sun (LP)

Facts Bristol beatmakers The Allergies keep the heat coming with Beneath This Sun. The sample-heavy LP deftly mixes up musical styles, like one of the duo's dynamite DJ sets. Soul-stompers 'Bye Bye Baby' burn the floor, while double bass banger 'Dig It Up' adds a boom to the bap that'll have '90s hip-hop heads throwing their hands in the air. Other standout moments are stolen by the earth-shaking cinematics of psych-rock-meets-rap epic 'Resistance', featuring Knytro (the secret weapon MC for stadium acts like Chase & Status). And 'Leave Me Alone' - a dancehall-on-steroids breakup record brought screaming to life by self-proclaimed sound system baby Aziza Jaye. More new faces to The Allergies camp include tongue-twisting Dutch mic master, BlabberMouf. And rising stars from the Bristol scene, HybridMP & KAI, who shine with their radiant jazz-hop lament 'Lost My Soul'. Long-time friends and live show collaborators Andy Cooper, Marietta Smith, and sax legend James Morton are back on board. Getting things sizzling hot on the cosmic disco romp of 'New Dimension', and fiery Latin funk workout 'Save All That For Another Day'. It's another blast of blazing beats from DJ Moneyshot & Rackabeat aka The Allergies. And with a history of A-list playlist success in the bank, and a fat stack of tracks already breaking the 10M streaming mark online, can their latest stellar offering eclipse all that? The future's bright
