Latent Variables Vol. 2 is the second EP from Unit 137’s founder, Hylu. Following on from the success of his debut EP, ‘Latent Variables Vol. 1’ in 2021, this second volume boasts two hard hitting tracks characterised by Hylu’s bass led productions: “There’s a sense of mastery and calm in the productions which shows a unique ability to skirt around genres and create a satisfying listen.” - Bass Music UK (2021) The lead single, Betty, explores experimental dancehall with Krar samples and deep sub bass-lines. There’s a guttural texture to the percussion, giving it a raw punchy sound that make it impossible not to move to. The second track, Earl, pays homage to Hylu, and Unit 137’s, home of Hither Green, London. Field recordings, vocal samples, guitar licks and synth lines permeate this track. There’s a constant sense of movement, rolling forward with a heavy bass-line. As with ‘Latent Variables Vol. 1’, this EP was created through a collaborative process. This time the collaboration sees Hylu and the visual artist, Latent Variables, joined by Keifer Nyron Taylor: a London-based filmmaker and photographer from Birmingham. The collaborative process for the EP was loosely inspired by the surrealist method: Exquisite Corpse. The result of this collaboration is the EP and two accompanying videos.
