Signed to West Coast record label Mood Hut, Pender Street Steppers have been gaining momentum with their mellow, hazy house sound. Liam Butler and Jack J played three dates in Australia earlier this month, followed by a show in San Francisco, and will be performing in the UK and Europe between March and July. The duo's debut, Life in the Zone – issued as a mixed cassette in 2013 – is probably my favourite P.S.S. release, but individual tracks from the album put out on vinyl by Mood Hut and Washington DC’s PPU are a good place to start.

Since a large contingent of my colleagues reside in Vancouver, I figured it was a good time to highlight a very promising young crew growing out of the same waterlogged roots they call home. The various producers all release under the banner of Mood Hut, a new label pushing their unique sound of dubby, aquatic, left field house music. Their newest record is by Pender Street Steppers, possibly the most UK-influenced release of their catalogue. Also make sure to check out Ttam Renat's wonky workouts, as well as Cloudface's molasses-soaked Chicago cuts.
