The series will explore various facets of bass music, including juke, flux house, post-club, and concepttronica. Our goal is to showcase sets that comprehensively represent the key players in this scene. We believe that labels are crucial actors in the industry, as they are like mini-cultures with their own ideologies, perspectives, technical specialties, and teams of musicians and technicians. Therefore, we will dedicate a separate episode to each label, treating them as individual entities.

Bass music, a zeitgeist of contemporary electronic music, remains a true reflection of our times. With the technical progress of sound systems, warehouse club culture, and the fusion of hip-hop and techno becoming the new “pop”, it’s at the forefront of music today. Yet, there’s much more to explore.

For our premiere show, we chose to showcase the music of @hakunakulala, a Ugandan label known for their polyrhythmic and syncopated sound design. They are the largest independent electronic label in East Africa and a great inspiration for our musical direction. Hakuna Kulala faces similar challenges to the Ukrainian music culture, and they exemplify how a group of enlightened music professionals can overcome these issues.

Tune into the heart of Mexico City, with the second episode of @iriyrecords show, featuring one of the most established and oldest post-club labels, @naafi

The label aims to overcome the self-doubt present in the local Mexican electronic music scene and revive the local musical aesthetic. Consequently, N.A.A.F.I. releases music inspired by local electronic music trends like dembow and reggaeton while recontextualizing Western styles such as techno and house. These sounds are fused to create a blend of deconstructed and often ironic music. This blend is termed “tribal,” contrasting with the music of malinchismo (the local name for structured Western genres). It combines percussive, conceptual, and polyrhythmic sounds to create a unique musical narrative.

Join us for the third episode of Iriy Frequencies, as we delve into the roots of modern bass music with a focus on two influential labels from the UK leftfield scene: Livity Sound and its experimental counterpart, Dnuos Ytivil. This episode is exclusively curated by Montronique, a resident of Livity Sound, who has prepared a selection showcasing the depth and diversity of the label's offerings.

Livity Sound, inspired by the Rastafarian concept of life-force, was established in 2011 by dubstep pioneer Peverelist. While rooted in UK Garage, the label has explored modern dub and fluxwork, shaping modern bass music genres and nurturing artists in traditional styles. Dnuos Ytivil, its darker twin, offers a collection of heavier, more experimental urban bass music.

For the next episode of IRIY.Frequencies Geyera delves into the legacy of Skull Disco. This label, active from 2004 to 2008, produced ten releases, all supervised by its founders, Shackleton and Appleblim.

Skull Disco carved its niche in British dubstep, blending elements of dubstep, stoner metal, and dub techno. The label's sound was complemented by a post-Egyptian visual aesthetic, created by Zeke Clough.

Although the label existed for a relatively short time, it has had a strong influence on Iriy Records due to its dedication to sophisticated sound, its role in promoting ambient dubstep, and its narrative consistency. In its ten releases, Skull Disco followed a story with its own lyrical heroes and leitmotifs.

Founded by Tom Fraser in 2012, Coyote Records (@coyoterecordsuk) pioneered progressive grime music, often emphasizing the instrumental component. 

The label’s attention to beat-making craft and sophisticated arrangements brings its music close to being called grime IDM. Tracks produced by Coyote Records are hypnotic and ethereal, yet heavy and powerful, with vocals treated as equals among other musical elements. This unique juxtaposition can be heard in works by Shaun and Silk Road Assassins. 

Despite being an underground and independent label, Coyote Records has launched the careers of international stars like AJ Tracey and Tom E. Vercetti. They also organize events in Bristol and London’s The Alibi.

Started by Lurka, Hodge, and Asusu in 2016, Timedance (@timedance) was born out of the UK Bristol scene, aiming to create mutated techno. However, now, almost a decade after its inception, it can be said that Timedance has created its own genre of music – flux house. The style combines the depth and weight of dubstep with dance-friendly rhythms of techno, while complex polyrhythmic layering of sounds gives ample space for experimentation, briskness, and freshness.
