• Track Listing

Since their first collaborative foray with Day & Night, which was released on Butterz in 2015, TQD have rather emphatically proven that their three way formula works; appearing in clubs and at festivals the world over, they've been consistently shaking up scenarios with their high octane blends of (largely) their own music across four deck sets. Following memorable sets on the Boiler Room and live turns at Warehouse Project, Leeds Festival, and Boomtown, Royal-T, DJ Q, and Flava D have been hard at work putting together their ten track debut album, UKG - a bolshy mission statement that encompasses the full spectrum of the garage sound. When you look at each party's discography separately, what's immediately obvious is their shared love of a two-step beat, a hellish hoover bass, and all those cleverly edited vocal ticks. Their debut album is the culmination of that love, with TQS channeling everything from heady, energetic bassline (on "Vibsing Ting"), to ghostly Burial-scapes (on "Only One"), and lounge instrumentation (on "New Day"). "New Day" features Swindle and Skilliam.
