Itoa has always been a producer in touch with the roots of soundsystem culture.
From those early dancehall flourishes to his playful use of the echo chamber the London beat maker takes accepted tropes and filters them through his own unique vision.
New EP 'Persuasive Percussion' drops on June 10th (order LINK), with Clash able to give you the first up front listen of new track 'Nobody'.
The vocals have a gospel flavour, but the beat is sheer dancehall. Chopping up elements of grime, Itoa establishes a hard edge that adds frenetic drum breaks to the mixture.
Tougher than tough, you can tune in below.
