Dips, Lo-Wu Combine On New Mixtape

'Idle Hands' is out next month...

London pairing *Dips* and *Lo-Wu* combine on new mixtape 'Idle Hands'.

The two go back a long way, whether that's playing gigs together, working in the studio, or just raving at dances across London.

Close friends, Dips and Lo-Wu will release debut mixtape 'Idle Hands' on August 12th, and it brings their varying interests and influences together in one place.

New single 'Queen Of Hearts' leads the way, and it leans on their formative experiences soaking up UKG while adding playful jazz elements.

Lo-Wu comments...

“When Dips and I made this, we had the summer in mind - nothing soundtracks the British summer like UK Garage. With COVID restrictions about to be lifted everyone is about to really be let loose in the streets, so 'Queen of Hearts' is right on time. This is a bouncy but soulful UK Garage slapper for the dances, for the BBQs, for the motives in the park, for the baecations, for the nights out and for the loved up nights in. I’ve got a feeling people will fall in love this summer in record numbers so we've got an anthem to help the mandem with that.”

Dips says: “I’ll never forget the reaction we got when we performed ‘Queen Of Hearts’ for the first time in Birthday’s, Dalston. Complete shutdown! Now we’re thrilled to have an official release and a soundtrack for party-goers as lockdown restrictions ease. 'Queen Of Hearts' is a moment, not just for the summer though. It’s an anthem for those who want to vibe and hail up the love of their lives!”

An instant-anthem, 'Queen Of Hearts' patches a swung 2-step rhythm against soulful, half-spoken vocals - tune in now.
