Aitch and Bou deliver exhilarating DNB with new single ‘Raving in the Studio’
PRAISE FOR Aitch
“You don’t need drama or vocal theatrics when you’ve got his confidence, using his precise flow around any given genre and his cheeky wordplay to entertain”
“Pushes his musical boundaries and subverts traditional hip-hop narratives”
“Heavily anchored in a forward-thinking rap blueprint”
“Aitch is known for bawdy pop-rap: slick, swaggering bravado over boisterous beats, delivered in an immediately discernible Mancunian accent”
‘Raving In The Studio‘ is out now, buy/stream here.
BRIT award-winning rapper Aitch steps into the drum n bass arena for the first time with new single, ‘Raving In The Studio’ with Mancunian producer Bou, independently released via NQ Records. LISTEN + WATCH HERE.
‘Raving In The Studio’ sees Aitch deliver his signature wordplay over Bou’s remarkable slice of exhilarating drum n bass. Built around a sample of Gorillaz’s ‘Feel Good Inc.’, ‘Raving In The Studio’ has received Damon Albarn’s blessing and coincides with the 20th anniversary of the original Gorillaz release with revered US hip hop group De La Soul.
An eclectic union between two Manchester powerhouses at the forefront of their respective genres, Aitch and Bou created their crossover track at NQ House – a state-of-the-art creative hub based in Manchester. Aitch and Bou teased their collaboration during the producer’s electrifying set during DNB All Stars at The Warehouse Project last month, which lends itself to the plot of the accompanying music video, directed by Kelvin Jones. Additionally, ‘Raving In The Studio’ garnered key airtime during the World Championship fight between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury, and follows Aitch’s recent collaborations with London rappers Potter Payper (‘DND’) and Avelino (‘Scary Movie’).
Manchester DJ/producer and Gossip label boss Bou consistently pushes the boundaries in the drum n bass world with his bold and innovative sound. With an impressive catalogue of releases, Bou has been supported by some of the most prestigious labels in the industry and the genre’s leading DJs, including the likes of Andy C, Shy FX, and Chase & Status – with the latter duo enlisting Bou for their platinum-certified smash ‘Baddadan’; further solidifying his position at the forefront of drum n bass. With a reputation for delivering both in the studio and behind the decks, Bou is undeniably one of the most exciting and influential voices in drum n bass today.
Away from the studio, Aitch will climb Mount Kilimanjaro for the Down’s Syndrome Association at the end of this month. Having surpassed the £70,000 target to raise funds for a cause close to his and his family’s hearts, Aitch will be joined by family members, friends and team to conquer the impressive feat.
A fun, crossover track to kickstart the new year, ‘Raving In The Studio’ cements a new chapter for Aitch and teases an upcoming project to arrive from the BRIT award-winning rapper later this year.
