Since their first collaborative foray with 'Day & Night', which was released on Butterz in 2015, t q d 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 4 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 2-step beat, a hellish hoover bass and all those cleverly edited vocal ticks. Their debut album is the culmination of that love, with t q d channelling everything from heady, energetic bassline (on 'Vibsing Ting'), to ghostly Burial-scapes (on 'Only One') and lounge instrumentation (on 'New Day')
