UK-based producer and DJ Citizenn will be releasing his new EP, Say It Like You Mean It on ABODE Records. The second release from the London based label is now available in full, with the Montel Remix of 'Slide' having been made avaialble as an exclusive on Beatport from October 7th. This EP is one of the first since Citizenn's LP on Crosstown Rebels 'Human Interface'.

The four-track EP is a clear representation of Citizenn's distinctive deep and groovy sound. The title track Say It Like U Mean is underpinned by heavy 4/4 kick drum with looping vocals layered over the top before filtered synths enter the mix at the drop. Slide is a lighter track that includes multiple percussive layers, relating back to Citizenn's roots as a drummer. The short, sharp beats are combined with a synthesized keyboard melody to create a futuristic feel throughout.

Next up is Ladies free B4 midnight, a softer, melodic track with haunting female vocals drawing the listener in as the track slowly builds into a breakbeat tempo; showcasing Citizenn's versatility. The last track is a remix of Slide by British DJ and producer Montel who flips the track into a deep, dance-floor ready groove as he speeds up the pace and turns the emphasis on the kick-drums and basslines.

As one of the house scene's new prodigy's, Citizenn otherwise known as Laurence Blake has made quite a name for himself in a short space of time. The dreadlocked wonder exploded onto the music scene with a slew of releases via Kerri Chandler's Madtech label, Waze & Odyssey's Street Tracks and London-based party people Love Fever Records. Support for his music has come from far and wide, with Radio 1's Pete Tong throwing his weight behind him as well as many of his peers, and of course, the godfather Mr. Chandler.

Citizenn's dance-floor ready Say It Like You Mean It EP is now available on all digital platforms via Abode Records.

• Citizenn - Say It Like U Mean It
