Hodge

Sobre

Bristol, England's Jake Martin produces heavily percussive club music under the name Hodge. While his tracks veer between house, techno, and post-dubstep styles, they're generally united by a common thread of strong rhythms and massive bass. Martin's initial releases as Hodge were immersive deep house tracks similar to his work as part of <a href="spotify:artist:0SvgbjBKlJAoG4KCaUy9Jr">Outboxx</a>, his duo with Matthew Lambert. Starting with 2012's Dusted EP on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Deadplate+Records%22">Deadplate Records</a>, his sound became darker and more creative. <a href="spotify:artist:0UrA452V5vJpCW5ezx0YMP">Peverelist</a> (owner of the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Punch+Drunk%22">Punch Drunk</a> label) became a significant influence on Hodge's sound, and the two collaborated for the first time on the 2013 single "Bells." More singles appeared on techno and post-dubstep labels such as <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Livity+Sound%22">Livity Sound</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tempa%22">Tempa</a>, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Hemlock%22">Hemlock</a>, and Berceuse Heroique, as Hodge quickly became one of underground bass music's biggest names. Hodge collaborated with <a href="spotify:artist:7K0WJzyqUNRhraNcsvJp1h">Randomer</a> on the 2016 single "Second Freeze," and worked with <a href="spotify:artist:3IuyAl5gMAvYhn0VjRzC1g">Peder Mannerfelt</a> on 2017's All My Love EP. His sound continued to build, with releases such as Tru alongside <a href="spotify:artist:0sRVVDpgF2sKzPBkDszzUl">Laurel Halo</a> and Beneath Two Moons leading into his most ambitious project to date, his debut full-length album Shadows in Blue. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
