SDF returns after two years away with a low-slung stomper, mixed and retweaked by Toby Tobias…
In a corner of Wales, where the sea meets the road, there’s a Policeman who’s bent over a rather small load. Adam, Oliver, Lucy, SDF by their name, caught him twice over on some CCTV frame.
Toby Tobias came round with his knobs and his skill, Retweaked and resparkled, and steadied the till, while Crooked Man Barratt, all Parrot and jazz, sent the same crooked cop for a sun-kissed jazz razz.
There’s a Single Edit too, for those short on time, and a Jazz Police calling somewhere down the line, the sickness at the top, so the old saying goes, runs all the way down to the Policeman’s toes.
So spin either version, the club one or the dream. On VITS009, nothing’s quite what it seems. A tale of corruption, small-scale, none too grand, dedicated with love to the memory of a friend.
We’re premiering SDF’s low slung stomper “Policeman,” reworked by London producer Toby Tobias (Alphonse). SDF’s first new material in two years, with Adam Parkinson (Dane Law), Oliver Marchant (RKB Vitesse) and Lucy Whalley telling a two-part small-town crime story about police corruption in North Wales, this time with Tobias on mix and extra production duties, The track stays on the darker road: machinery and mantras riding towards trouble suspended somewhere between a club track and a dubby dream. Crooked Man (aka All Seeing I and Sweet Exorcist) also on remix duties.
The release is dedicated to the memory of JD Twitch.
Out Friday, July 17, 2026.
