The EP is a rich embodiment of EYK’s sonic diversity and delves into the pairs’ journey over the last 18-24 months. The project provides a soundtrack to the highs, the lows, the nostalgia and the pent-up energy over lockdown, skewered in pin-sharp rhymes, layered over precision tooled bedroom beats. The EP features previously released singles including ‘Just For The Times feat. Joy Anonymous’, When The Sun Comes Up’ ‘Higher’, and ‘Charlie’ along with current single ‘Radio’.
EYK say: ‘We’re buzzing to finally release this EP. Throughout the whole EP you can hear the influences of the artists and genres we grew up listening to. Like our latest single ‘Radio’ which is us paying homage to the late 90’s/early 2000’s garage scene. The project as a whole feels like a journey of our lives over the last 18-24 months and this was made just as we were coming out of lockdown. You can imagine people singing along to the chorus on the dance floor or at an after party. And that’s that’s exactly the type of tune we wanted to make’. The release follows the bands momentous single ‘Just For The Times’ alongside Joy Anonymous which amassed almost 2 million streams. The track was also playlisted on BBC Radio 1, as well as spun on Love Island and Rugby League Final.
Everyone You Know have had a rapid rise to success in a short space of time, amassing over 100 million worldwide streams, an explosive 15-date sold out UK tour, as well as a UK mainstage festival debut at Reading & Leeds and a stint as UK brand ambassadors for Reebok. Fusing hip hop, garage, dance and punk, the London based duo cite J Dilla, Dr Dre, The Streets, Wu Tang Clan and Kano amongst their musical inspirations. Honing their signature sound, the pair have built a cult following with tracks such as ‘When The Sun Comes Up’, ‘Our Generation’, ‘She Don’t Dance’ and ‘The Drive’. The pair have garnered key tastemaker support along the way from the likes of Annie Mac (headlined AMP at Old Blue Last), Jack Saunders (Radio 1 Maida Vale Session), Steve Lamacq (6Music Session), BBC Introducing, NME, Sunday Times Culture, Complex and The Line of Best Fit positioning themselves as one of the most exciting and innovative new talents to come out of the UK. With the release of this EP, EYK are gearing up for what looks like his most successful year yet.
