It’s only three releases deep, but new London label Coyote – no relation to the Russian one with bands like Spermbloodshit on its roster, we should add – is making big moves in our eyes. 

After launching with Mella Dee’s – one half of Mista Men – ‘CTRL’, Coyote took things in a heavier direction, releasing ‘Grade A’ by DJ Q’s sparring partner TS7. It’s the label’s third release that’s really caught our eye though: Walter Ego has been pushing a uniquely skewed take on grime and bassline for a little while now, and the stomping ‘Wavey’ / ‘Military Mind’ represents arguably his most replay-friendly release yet. Hear recent FACT TV subject Footsie ride it on Rinse to see what we mean.

Coyote will be celebrating the release of ‘Wavey’ at London’s Macbath on March 4 with sets from Walter Ego, Bristol’s Oh91 b2b Champion associate Notion, recent Rinse signing and ‘Take Off’ producer Faze Miyake and Guppy Slim. We’re giving away entry +2 to the launch party, plus vinyl copies of Coyote 001 through 003. No question and answer required to win – simply drop competitions@thevinylfactory.com a shout with the subject line ‘Wavey’ and you’re in the draw.
