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.

Iriy Frequencies on 20ft Radio

Bass music, a zeitgeist of contemporary electronic music, remains a true reflection of our times. With 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. "Iriy Frequencies" hosted by @svzz_bm , is our attempt to remedey this situation in Ukraine and the global audience of @20ft_radio.

Therefore, we will dedicate a separate episode to each label, treating them as individual entities.

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.

Detox № 36 - NKNWN

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.

We are thrilled to present the 10th-anniversary release on our label by Ehndo @ehndomusic - a musical project of Bautista Falco, a young artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

‘Genesis’ marks the start of his musical journey, blending deep and psychedelic sounds with a broad and exploratory approach. Inspired by life in Buenos Aires, this album reflects the artist’s day-to-day experiences and the different moods he has navigated over the past few years. From slow tempos and warm pads to broken rhythms and brain-dancing patterns, ‘Genesis’ evolves into 4-on-the-floor trance-inspired beats.

Produced by Bautista Falco
Mastering by Ilya Semashkevich

Ehndo - Free Floating

Glad to share our first release of the year, produced by Andrei Rusu and including a remix from Beatrice M. The Romanian and Berlin-based artist has been deeply involved in electronic music production, DJ-ing, and live performance as part of the duo Khidja. We discovered his music through his first solo EP, "I’ve Lost Control", released in 2024 on Berlin based label Malka Tuti, followed by the album "Met Him On A Wednesday", released under his alias Ed Rain and marked by its introspective tone and experimental approach. His weird electro sound is influenced by post punk, DIY and wave. Rusu’s music is organic, exploratory and unconventional.

Andrei: « This is my most cathartic to date, it’s quite haunting and feels a bit like screaming into a pillow. I imagine it as the perfect soundtrack to banging your head against a table. »

A key element throughout the EP’s sound and lively feeling is the use of Andrei’s favorite machines such as the Mort’s Barge module, the Microtonic or the Syncussion. He creates captivating soundscapes and deep evolutive atmospheres that inspired Beatrice M. to deliver a slow bassy belter that compliments this release perfectly.

Release date: February 6th, 2025

Join Luther, head of the Iriy label (@iriyrecords), as we trace the evolution of modern juke into the hard drum sound.  

Two groundbreaking labels shape this journey: B.YRSLF Division and Worldwide Unlimited. B.YRSLF, founded by Taoufik Allabouch (aka Daryll), was an international platform for fast bass music, with deep roots in juke, early grime, and experimental sounds (hosting early releases from artists like Ducky). The label, along with its sister imprint Widad, ceased operations in 2015 but left a lasting impact on the leftfield bass scene.  

Meanwhile, Worldwide Unlimited stands as a key force in hard drum’s rise. The label has introduced boundary-pushing artists like Nick Leon, Henzo, and BFTT, carving out a space for post-juke innovation.

Stay tuned @ www.20ftradio.net

This compilation unites music from Mutant Radio’s friends and residents, with all proceeds directly supporting political prisoners, their families, and activists across different regions of Georgia. The struggle continues until every political prisoner is freed and new elections take place.

Whether on the streets, in our space, or through the airwaves, we remain firmly alongside the movement. Without true freedom, creativity is silenced, culture fades, and Mutant Radio cannot exist.

We extend our gratitude to our friends and residents for their unwavering support and for sharing their music in these challenging times for Georgia.

Special thanks to TBZ and Alex Michalski for their invaluable contribution to mastering.
