about

Following on from 'Empty Flat in Berlin' & 'Go', which received club support from the likes of Terr, Jimi Jules & Chloé Caillet, 'Can't Help U' is the debut EP of Sam Girling's newly formed record label, 'Attacca'. Sam sees the creation of 'Attacca' as taking back control of his vision and music; his own paradisiacal world for him to nurture and grow.

With the first single, 'Can't Help U', already picking up support from various tastemakers, such as Jack Saunders & Sarah Story, the rest of the 5-track EP bodes well on covering Sam's eclectic influences. 'Can't Help U' is formed around a mixture of broken vocals, eerie bass tones and a need to feel something. The first half of the single builds on a melancholic note with the subtly growing percussive layers and fragmented vocal chops of 'Can't Help U'. The mood switches halfway as the body of the track is sucked out, leaving just the resonant bass, clap and vocal hanging in suspension before smashing back into the thick of it as a dance floor anthem.

'Osmo' plays it's role as the 'club weapon' with a sizzling electro lead and leftfield French love poem. 'Sunday Conscience' comes in as a 909 driven, synth-laden pumper that flutters nostalgia evoking vocal cries throughout. The suitably titled, 'Con On The Train Back From a Festival', runs uninterrupted with an iPhone audio recording of Sam & his mate, Connor, on their way home from a festival - a laid-back, 6am house groover. Finally, 'All I See Is Done' rounds off the debut EP on a deep house tip, with the classic M1 organ amongst an array of weaving synth lines.
