Named after a lyric in OutKast's Happy Valentine's Day, 14th are Tracey Duodu and Tom Barber, who met at university during a dance battle. Following a cursory "let's jam together sometime", Barber went to America while Duodu studied music and philosophy. Quick to realise that devoting her life to the latter would lead to her becoming "bald and cynical", she focused on the former and wound up in a number of musicals. This wasn't exactly what she had in mind, however, and after a text from Barber the two met up and 14th was born. Hide Yourself, their debut EP – premiered here exclusively – showcases their love for 90s UK garage and modern-day dance production, with Duodu's incredible vocals adding genuine soul to the brooding title track and underpinning the pogoing beats of Chimes. Elsewhere, Lights Off finds Barber singing a stripped-back ballad, while the EP closes with a remix of an early track, Millionaire, which is given a dubstep-style makeover.
• Hide Yourself EP is due on 14 November.
