Bash songs

Casting a self-reflexive lens over his roots via the medium of crushing, future-rushing soundsystem sonics, Low End Activist returns to Sneaker Social Club with a full-length of monumental proportions.

When the Low End Activism 12” ignited on Sneaker in 2019, it paid tribute to the Blackbird Leys estate in Oxford, UK, where LEA originates from. In the shadow of social inequality and strengthened by the unity of the multi-ethnic community, Blackbird Leys still imposes a powerful influence on LEA’s work, even as he’s stepped out onto Seagrave for last year’s Game Theory album and notched up the first couple of releases on his own self-titled label.

On this new album, Hostile Utopia sums up the conflicting emotions attached to memories of home – how it’s possible to feel nostalgic for the griminess of urban and suburban Britain, its ordinary tales of bitterness and frustration, but also its intrinsic passion and solidarity. At a time when social division is actively engineered by Machiavellian forces, real conviviality at street level feels like an impossible dream.

LEA communicates these tensions through a style which is becoming his signature – dynamic bass torsion and chiseled, fractalised rhythms slugging around the 130 mark. It’s moody like a UK-themed record ought to be, but it’s not morose. There’s fierceness in every snap and rumble, as the legacies of hardcore, jungle, dubstep and grime pour into the casing prior to the gunpowder lighting.

On previous LEA releases, the MC roll call has pointed to some of the most vital voices touching the mic in the present day. Flowdan, Sikka Rymes and Trim all had something different to impart over the riddims, and now Hostile Utopia expands on that with the most extensive show of lyrical strength yet. Mez lights up the woozy, abstract grime swerve of ‘Mercenary’ in a musical style. Emz brings a ruthlessly sharp verbal steez to ‘GetGet’, Killa P gets busy toasting over ‘DFRNT STYLE’ and ‘Superhighway’ carries the dexterous hip-hop flow of Cadence Weapon.

In between those standout tracks, LEA expresses just as much in the production. Tracks brimming with stories to impart, laden with symbols masquerading as samples and draped in aural garb that firmly places Hostile Utopia in a place, a mood, that could only belong to the UK. It’s a hybrid sound just like the society it sprang from, and therein lies its power.

We asked Om Unit for some more info.. here's what we know.

"Phil called me up in the early Spring telling me a load of tall tales about apparently having been abducted by aliens. I didn't really know what to believe because the stories were all pretty weird tbh and I can't really go into it here but I'll just say he's soundtracked some of what happened in the form of a set of DJ tools for Astrophonica' This is going to be the third and final Philip D Kick release for Astrophonica to complete a trilogy. What the future holds who knows!"

Breaking News (feat. Rico Nasty & Kilo Kish)

Renown Phantom Of The Afters, Dances makes a swift return to Rules Don't Apply with the summer-ready jam "Give You My Love". Dances is truly a renaissance man, capable of crafting gleaming club weapons as well as main stage anthems.          
On "Give You My Love", we're blessed to witness Dances in rare form- a hooky 80's sample gets tumbled atop a slammin bass line and steady drum sequence. A sopping envelope filter makes the riff do backflips and ginsu-sliced sample chops are plated for your listening pleasure. This is omakase for your ears.

After The End EP - out now on Defrostatica

Release date: 1.11.2024
Artwork: Aiax 
Mastering: Macc
Distribution: Clone

Sun People is one of the few modern producers with an unmistakable signature sound. For more than a decade, the Austrian has seemingly effortlessly pursued the plan of developing a soulful minimalism in the field between footwork, jungle and techno, creating moments of bliss for listeners and dancers.

His third EP on Defrostatica emphasizes the contrast between footwork grooves - as in After The End - and spiraling drum techno patterns on 160 beats per minute like in Forward.

Dublin's inHabit Recordings are back with their latest offering in Pitch037's Chameleon EP.

A three-part journey through rhythm and atmosphere. It begins with 'The Cut', a fast, sharp dive into chaos—like crashing headfirst into a jungle that doesn’t want you there. 'Chameleon' slows the pulse, drawing you deeper into something hypnotic and strange. It’s groovy, sub-heavy, and shapeshifting—like meeting a presence that mirrors you. Finally, our featured premiere of 'Headrush' marks the escape. Stripped back but purposeful, it’s the sound of finding your way out—cutting through the fog of the dream with clarity and momentum.

A momentous surge through the DnB low end from Pitch037, with a helping hand remix from DJ jubilee 1997 to boot.



PREMIERE: Pitch037- Headrush (inHabit Recordings)

As Rupture’s journey across the solar system of breaks continues, tribal drums
call from the darkest heart of
the Earth planet.
Release date: July 26th 2019
