Manchester-based Austrian producer salute pays tribute to the UK garage classics on “Feel The Same”

Citing Dizzee Rascal and Wiley as important influences in salute's work, “Feel The Same” exists within a state of flux, soaked with choppy UKG beats and scattered pulses of electronica. They warp and throb as the agony begins to fade - its impenetrable veneer cracking to reveal those first glimmers of hope and healing.

“I'd never made a garage track before writing ‘Feel the Same’, I play a lot of garage in my DJ sets, so it only felt right to try and make something in that vein,” explains Nyajo.

“I took a lot of inspiration from the incredible new wave of UKG producers across the country making some of the most ground-breaking electronic music I've heard in a while - big love to them.”

Despite the joviality, a sense of longing and nostalgia seep between the fractures. “Back to when I used to have you” feels bittersweet against the backdrop of his grief - delicately crafting a multifaceted response to bereavement.
