After five years of throwing parties under the name Green Villain, the label Green Village was founded in 2014. Their second release, Come Through For Me features a single from New York City based DJ/Producer, Policy. Following his two recent albums on 100% silk in 2013, and Rush Hour in 2012, this will be his last release for 2014. The flip features a more dance floor friendly remix by London based, Thefft which focuses on predominant percussion and off beat bass stabs.

New York based producer returns to Rush Hour with a new single with FaltyDL & Tom Trago mixes! More

It's not every day that we receive demo's from new artists that totally rock our world, but when its happens it's a joy and a reminder of why we are still doing this. And so tears of joy rolled onto the speakers when we played Policy's demo's. When contacted Policy he told us he is from NYC, is a part time movie director and only started making music recently. Out of the bunch of tracks we received 'Specialty Party' and 'Light Over Fort Lee' form his debut EP. Both tracks challenge the beat spectrum once again and definitely speak his cinematic mind. Expect more music from Policy on Rush Hour later this year. He surely is our contender for best newcomer of 2011.
