After the breakout success of Breach’s “Jack” in 2013, there might have been a whisper around the Dirtybird Records camp about following it up with another smash. Who would blame label boss Claude VonStroke for trying? But Dirtybird’s Jessica Phillippe aka J-Phlip’s latest tune for the west coast techno label does anything but pander to hitmaking even as it commands your attention. Listen to the premiere of “Say My Name” exclusively here:
“I started it way back in February last year, because I really wanted a new track to put on my mix for [BBC Radio One DJs] Skream & Benga,” Phillippe says of the recording process. “It made it on the mix, but the final version actually just slowly made its way to getting finished over several months after that.”
