We couldn't really even tell you where we first heard about Foamo. All we can say is that all of a sudden he was all over us like a rash, and his rep is spreading fast and wide. A bastion of the movement in the last few years that emerged from fidget house and dubstep - UK bass, bassline house, whatever the fuck it's called today - his fiery productions mash up rugged LFOing bass with chattering synth rhythms and all sorts of rowdy fierceness, creating a distinctive.
Innovative, energetic and damn naughty music, it's found him signing tracks to Southern Fried Records, Skint, Sunday Best and Wearhouse Music, and combined with his fierce DJ skills landed him a residency at London's Chew The Fat!. In turn, that's lead on to main room gigs at We Love Space in Ibiza this summer (which we are roundly assured he smashed the shit out of). We're all over this Podcast - one of our favourites of the year!
Sum up this podcast in 10 words...
