Nitework (3)

NITEWORK are a South East London duo creating sleek & soulful UK garage; the collaborative project of vocalist/DJ Ell Murphy & producer/DJ Medlar. Coming together in late 2019, NITEWORK quickly bonded in the studio over their love for soulful 90s house and ukg; producing countless tracks in their weekly sessions. Joining forces with dubplate king Riz La Teef, they released their debut EP Higher on his South London Pressings imprint, with the vinyl selling out on bandcamp within 2 hours of release in October. To date, ‘Higher’ & b side 'Sunshine' have been featured on Rinse FM’s ‘Garage Hour’, Balamii, Rinse France & NTS, with the release described by acclaimed music magazine The Wire as; “spacious and buoyant vocal-garage, faithful to a time when garage producers were obsessed with the futuristic sound of US R&B, using the rhythmelodics of timbaland and missy elliot to forge a UK counterpart in two-step; snare, hat, bass, keys and vocals sweep past each other without touching, like starlings in a flock”. The pair debuted their live vocal/DJ set back in February at Iona x Five Miles presents ‘Club Love’ - also performing at Rye Wax, & The Cause alongside Matt Jam Lamont, Oneman & Izco. With further releases planned for 2021, NITEWORK look set to become a permanent fixture in the growing resurgence of the UK garage scene.
