There is a certain kind of pressure that only works when you don’t overthink it. You hear it straight away in Still Hear You. The bass doesn’t just hit, it folds into itself, slightly unhinged, properly physical. The sort of thing that makes you pull the reload before you have even clocked why.
Jrace & Albert White arrive on Viper Recordings with TRACES, a three-track EP that keeps things focused. Jump-up at the core, but not rushed, not cluttered. There is space in it. Space for vocals to sit properly, space for tension to build rather than just being thrown at you.
Still Hear You does the heavy lifting early. The vocal sits in that slightly eerie pocket, not overplayed, just enough to pull you in before the drop flips it into something much sharper. On a system, that low-end feels a bit wild. In a good way. You can picture it mid-set, second or third tune in, when the room is warming up and people are starting to lean forward.
Little Ghost shifts things slightly. More vocal-led, more linear on first listen, but there is a twist in how the drop lands. It doesn’t quite go where you expect. That unpredictability gives it legs in a mix. You can work it in and out without it feeling obvious, which matters more than people admit.
Closing track Don’t Hide, alongside LUIV, leans darker. The drums feel tighter, a bit more stripped back, letting the weight carry through rather than overcomplicating the arrangement. There is a late-night edge to it. Less about big moments, more about holding the room.
This is their first EP on Viper, and you can hear why it fits. Clean, functional, but with enough character to stand up in a set. Not trying to do too much. Just enough pressure, placed properly.
TRACES lands on 20 March 2026 via Viper Recordings.
