DJ Polo Blends UK Funky, Gqom, Amapiano And More On 'Look Back To Move Forward' EP


June 09, 2021

Ever since he released his debut EP on Roska's Kicks & Snares label, Bristol-based DJ Polo has been one of the brightest lights in the new gen of UK funky producers. Both his radio show and his own productions have helped push the sound forward and spread its jumpy drum patterns far and wide.

His latest release is the Look Back To Move Forward EP, which just landed on Club Djembe and includes five new originals and a radio edit. UK funky sits at the heart of the EP, but he also threads in gqom, grime, Afrobeats, tribal house, Amapiano and a touch of dubstep.

Features on the EP come from veteran MC Ramzee on "Funky Party" and Hyperdub stalwart Scratcha on the searing, gqom-influenced roller, "Headtop". Tune in below and expect to hear them all at the next dance.
