Three tracks on Nervous Horizon that move from house to garage, and a closing turn from a Willesden MC that outclasses everything before it.

Chosen One is three tracks, and the third one is the reason to hear it. Main Phase builds the EP on Nervous Horizon around a single idea, then hands the final stretch to Logan, who takes the record somewhere the first two cuts do not.

Main Phase is a Copenhagen DJ and producer who has spent years on left-of-centre, heads-down sets, drawing from house, techno, garage, jungle and dubstep and refusing to pick one. The bookings back it up, at Fabric, Panorama Bar and Boiler Room. He also runs the ATW Records imprint with Interplanetary Criminal. Chosen One puts him on the Nervous Horizon roster and works the gap between the sound he is known for and the one he has been developing.

The EP opens with Creep Into My Mind, which runs 7:27 and earns it. It is house, anthemic in build, and it hangs on a soulful vocal that stays in the head after the kick has gone. Main Phase keeps that hook in view and lets the arrangement move around it, which is the right call: there is one good idea here and nothing is allowed to bury it. The title track goes the other way, heavy on bass and leaning hard on a 4x4 pulse, built to be played out.

Then Take Time arrives and the EP shifts. Logan is a Willesden MC, also known as The Big Sound Boy, who has worked through grime's underground since 2017, and he sounds unbothered and rough-edged against Main Phase's clean, clinical production. The track nods to old-school UK funky and amapiano, and the friction between the raw delivery and the tidy beat is the best thing on the record.

This is for DJs who keep house and garage in the same bag and need something to join them, and for anyone who likes club tracks with a voice in them.

The weak point sits in the middle. Chosen One is the most direct track here and the least distinct, a bass-heavy 4x4 that does what it says and stops. Set against the range Main Phase shows behind a booth, three tracks of house and garage is a narrow slice, and the title cut is where the palette thins out.

So the EP is carried by its edges. Creep Into My Mind holds a room, Take Time changes it, and the track between them is the one you will skip. A 3.5, and one to file next to the sets that made his name.
