It's a great and rewarding thing, the fact that we have regular access to and working relationships with people who are consistently trying to push the musical boundaries. It really is the gift that keeps on giving and we're duly stoked that we once again are able to find ourselves in the generous position to be able to share some brand new and exclusive music with you. In anticipation of the next installment of Critical Sound (which'll be in Room One on 10th July), the label has kindly bestowed a teaser of Enei, Kasra and DRS' forthcoming collaboration 'Overthinking' on us...

Pre-order 12" Vinyl -180g & MATRIARCH Teeshirt bundle here: http://www.cyberfunk.co.uk/shop/

After only 6 months since its first release, Cyberfunk is wasting no time in delivering the “funk”. The brand new label means business bringing us a 4 track EP with new bits from Incognito, Phentix and two collabs by label boss man Xtrah & Mefjus.
The title track “Matriarch” is a gritty stomper showcasing the clinical prowess of a collab between two such artists at the top of their game, heavy drums and grinding bassline make this tune an essential for the winter months.

“Fever” showcases the pairs’ talent as this techy roller packs a punch with tight production and a progressive feel that builds to a devastating drop! Absolute face melter this one, be sure to listen out.

Phentix and Incognito going one deeper this time with Phentix’s track “Hoax” and Incognito’s “Foundations” both creeping in with eerie soundscapes and tight production sending you into the dark and deep realms of drum and bass. This EP giving us an insight into Cyberfunk’s intentions and a taster of what is yet to come.

SWU.FM, The Blast & IGiveYouGive supports
Mental Health Foundation
Bridging the gap between Bristol's underground music scene and three exceptional causes.

SWU.FM, The Blast and I Give You Give have united to release a charity album of current underground music, carefully curated to represent and celebrate the diverse elements of Bristol’s thriving music scene. 

Priced at £5 (minimum donation) , 100% of the proceeds will be distributed between ‘Help Bristol's Homeless’, ‘Mental Health Foundation’ and ‘Médicins Sans Frontières (Doctor's Without Borders)’.

These are three charities close to our hearts for the great work they do helping those that need it most.

Help Bristol's Homeless is a local charity set up to take shipping containers and convert them into emergency accommodation for homeless people, from which they can use as a secure base to begin to rebuild their lives.

Mental Health Foundation is a UK charity set up to help people understand, protect and maintain their mental health through research and public campaigns. 

Médecins Sans Frontières is an international charity that works with helping those in war torn countries and developing countries affected by endemic diseases by providing medical aid.

More information about the three charities can be found here :

Massive thanks to everyone involved, all the artists for providing the music and Beau @teneightseven for mastering the album!
Please give what you can!
Thanks and Merry Christmas
