Tessela - Hackney Parrot - Poly Kicks

** HACKNEY REPRESS ** ANTHEM ALERT! Tessela has been one of the multi-headed UK bass scene's most interesting talents since he first appeared in 2011; this first release on his fledgling Poly Kicks label comes from the producer himself, featuring two tracks that show a clear development of his signature sub-heavy sound that references classic breakbeat and jungle. "Hackney Parrot" first via a Jackmaster and Loefah Boiler Room session last November, and its stuttering vocal and tunnelling subs still pack a punch, but "Helter Skelter" just edges it out with its heavily swung rhythms and crackly jungle samples hissing away in the background.
