THE HIDDEN LABEL PRESENTS: HDN001 - Cubiq - Say ft. De Souza
Perched on a sinking desktop of promo, in an uncharted box of beats came Cubiq. It was not until summer 2010, somewhere on the dusty digital highway; that with one stuck thumb, they hitched their way onto the blogger-sphere. Nothing much happened that particular summer’s night, but I can tell you this - it’s all happening now. And so the story goes that way back when, some semi-respectable hobo blogger kept pushing those Cubiq boys’ tunes, full well knowing that if you throw enough pebbles then something’s bound to break. Those tunes were scattered like half decent diamonds in the rough, for all those people out there looking for that Hidden Gem - those Cubiq boys being exactly that. Moving on in time with Jamie & Carlos still just 19 years of trouble, the boys have got an earnest catalogue of trophy tunes in the bag. And I hear from reliable folk that the ‘Hidden Label’ gang have gunned their biggest release to date. Some say that the single is out 20th December 2011, and it’s called ‘Say’ by the way. The single is packed full of kicks, with vocals from ‘De Souza’ who can sing a top off a high C if needs be. Followed by the remix duties of that fella ‘Timmy P’, and I hear that he can play that piano way through the ceiling and up to the stars. If you don’t believe, then you can catch these young pitchers throwin a set of disco duelling house at the old Warehouse venue in Leeds, with likely cats and heavy handed heroes Tim Green, Kerri Chandler and Maya Jane Coles.
