Walton returns with a strictly-limited EP to precede the release of his debut album 'Beyond'. This is a vinyl-only, once it's gone it's gone kind of release, just 300 copies available.
'Baby' is a brilliant and extreme mutation based around an R&B accapella, one that seems energised by R&B's avant-garde but danceable late '90s period.
A hiccuping giggle over stuttering rusty engine stabs, and a so-stiff-it's-funky kick and and snare combination, make this a track that works brilliantly on the dance floor by sheer force of ideas and wildness.
'Can't You See's' widescreen ambience is held together by epic swelling chords, punctuated with rolling 8-bit spirals, trap-like bass, and snares. It's held together so tightly, it feels like it's going to 'drop' at any time, but prefers to just tease the listener in a state of excited suspense. Also included is an instrumental version of 'Baby'.

Walton's music is never sombre or angry, but is about subtle combinations, there is an appealing, soulful sensuality to his beautifully crafted and joyous music.
He says of the album 'I just wanted there to be a contrast between bright and dark, I didn't want to stick to a specific genre either. Just a vibe'. Walton's young enough to hear older elements of dance music with fresh ears, a recent hacienda reunion was an ear opener, hearing the stripped back power of acid house for the first time influenced some of the music on the album, understanding that a handful of contrasting elements can be placed together to create an exciting whole.
