Description: another hommage to Nobou Uematsu and the wonderful Final Fantasy series...

Historically, society has always needed one form of tonic or another. Tonics invigorate, restore, refresh and stimulate; much like this group of rising stars with their eyes on the prize. We’ve trawled some of the finest up & coming UK talent that the scene has to offer and hand-picked 6-tracks to kick start our brand new VA series of EPs in ‘Tonics: Batch 1’.

Kicking off proceedings and returning for her first release on the imprint since the ‘Summer Soul EP’ in 2018, we gladly welcome back London producer Dushi, with a jazzy number titled ‘Lost In The Waves’. We’re greeted with wonderfully wide, warm strings and an almost Middle Eastern soundscape in the intro, followed by an uplifting, orchestral-style drop - complete with progressive, jungle percussion. 

London native Lally is second up to the plate, with a sun drenched, rolling scorcher titled ‘All The Time’ - a palpable amen dream of tumbling sub, twinkling bells and lush, longing vocals. This track marks his first official release, and if this is anything to go off, we’ll be seeing a lot more of him! 

Dorset resident & new kid on the block Vektah undoubtedly delivers on the title with his track ‘Request’. The tune opens with luscious, swirling synths which fast descend into honks of incoming bass, jungle breaks and ragga vocals which will almost certainly have you shouting at your nearest DJ, demanding them to “run it”.

Makah’s ‘Crest’ rides in like a seasoned surfer, the intro rhythmically building tension with bubbling textures and washing synths amid swinging yet techy breaks, screeches and boundless bass. The second debut on the project, this accomplished first outing means this Cornwall-born composer is definitely one to watch for 2021.  

The third and final newcomer is Brighton boy Silloh and his debut ‘Strange Matter’. The track opens with cascading, shimmering chimes and a slight air of unease. The drop kicks like a mule, boasting roaring grunts of bass, high velocity drums; all of which are sure to evoke some downright evil expressions in the rave! 

Finally, Manchester’s own Motiv calls for last orders with the deceptively titled ‘Crave’ a deep, warm hug of a half time tune. Complete with wide, wobbling pads and clicking percussion wrapped in hypnotic vocals, you’ll no doubt long to hear this track, like some sort of uncontrollable urge.

So get your orders in for 6 doses of the finest effervescent d&b that money can buy, and raise a glass to the next batch of bubbling talent, pouring into all good stores on the 21st of May 2021.

Back with another fresh pair of remixed classics from their back catalogue, Addictive Behaviour celebrates the second edition of their Relicked series, bringing you two of the label’s finest cuts refreshed by artists old and new to the roster.

Kicking things off, German / Australian duo Zombie Cats roll out their debut release with Addictive, raining down an alternative upbeat recharge of Felix Raymon and Jamal Dilmen’s “Lonely Now”. Famed for their precise production and energetic style Zombie Cats deliver a firing liquid roller just in time to close out the festival season.

Longtime Addictive stalwart Eastcolors compliments the flip perfectly with a beautiful touch up of Qua Rush’s “Over Me”. Going in deep with ethereal pads, arpeggiated stabs and rattling drums, this one brings energy and grit to a soulful blend of the original!

Qua Rush 'Over Me' (EastColors Remix) [Addictive Behaviour]

Born in planet Proxima B, Alpha Centauri, in the year 5772 a.N.U.O, POL DE LA JUNGLA was born to the ashes of war right after the New Universal Order was established.
He was forcefully ejected and contained in planet Earth, now a desolated but still habitable wasteland, with the rest of the remaining humans right after the Grand Relocation.

During one of his expeditions, he found the remains of a hidden cave which went deep into the ground. There, he found a huge collection of what he could gather were extremely old human trinkets. Between those there was something that the previous humans called "VHS tapes", "television", "transmitter" and "vynils" of some sort. Also, a "vynil" player and some piece of ancient technology that now we know is called "sampler".

He immediately fell in love with the sounds emanating from the so-called "vynils" and honed the power in them to heights that even his own mind struggled comprehending, and in doing so, reawakened an ancient human magic that trascended far and wide the limits of the mind and being: music. The Federation for the New Universal Order couldn't have predicted the impact that his discovery would have, and he was able to somehow unite all the remaining humans into uniting creating their own space colony on Earth.

Now, as an adult, he's become an alpha threat to all of new existence that carries a huge bounty in his head. An interstellar criminal of sorts that wanders around space, a beacon of hope for the slow liberation of the remaining of the universe. Transmitting his own creations to all the bootlegged wavestations that can catch them, Pol now continues his eternal journey through everything, everywhere and all at once, nowhere to be found but everywhere to be felt.
