UK producer IZCO collaborates with Reek0 on the new single ‘Guiding Star’.
IZCO has received acclaim for his intricate sound, blending hip-hop’s studio techniques, vintage samples, and club elements. He consistently evolves his style, ensuring that each release has its unique identity.
‘Guiding Star’ transitions from laid-back hip-hop beats to an elevated sample, serving as an inter-generational tribute to the influences of London club culture.
The track features agile rhymes from Reek0, who navigates the flows with remarkable precision.
With a seven-inch vinyl pressing on the way, courtesy of the always-reliable independent label Brownswood, ‘Guiding Star’ marks a new chapter for the producer.

‘Guiding Star’. That classic vibe, fusing the soulful sample with the rawness of London, a true London track. It draws inspiration from a mix of 70s soul, US hip-hop, and UK grime. I created this track spontaneously; the sample truly spoke for itself.
Reek0's vocals come from one of our earliest sessions years ago, which had never been released but fit perfectly on this track. It evokes nostalgia, reminding me of great memories and friendships. Simple yet meaningful. It’s an honor to use such a beautiful sample.
Tune in now.
