After a massive two month headlining tour around Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, and Europe, and with a huge North American tour to follow (full dates can be found below), UK club kings Stööki Sound are dropping their brand new EP, Osiris (out today).
The EP begins ominously with "Revive", a Stranger Things-hinting intro that is reprised on the closing track "Survive". In between the synth-led bookends the EP's vibe is switched up a lot, though its feet remain firmly planted in grime and hip-hop. First we get a fast-paced exchange of bars between P Money and Stööki Sound's own spitter Jelacee. Then we get "Endz", an eastern-tinged banger with a cool low-slung bounce for the club. Then, Jelacee takes on mic duties again for choppy stomper "My G's", before the EP closes with a colourful club track that is "Exodus".
"This has been a huge year for us," they explained to us over email. "From touring the world, to launching our new label, Ö.N.E Worldwide, it's all been a bit mad. Our inspiration for this EP came from the Egyptian God, Osiris, who is the God of transition, resurrection and regeneration. This EP represents a new Stööki Sound, and marks the point at which we have matured and furthered our sound. We go even deeper with this representation with our track names, Revive (the intro track) and Survive (the final track), in which between them we showcase our new sound and ability."
