Following the success of the first instalment of the Heavy Sonics Next Gen series back in December, we return with another ridiculous 4-track EP with a variety of vibes, all killer and no filler!

The "Next Gen" series is aimed at uncovering and promoting up and coming talent in the underground scene from across the globe. Vol. 2 features 6 completely new artists to Heavy Sonics and following the high bar that Vol.1 set, this tracklist does not disappoint. 

The EP kicks off with "Work" from Serbian newcomer Sneaky. With tight production and a rolling bassline, this one will get you moving and eject you into a different galaxy. In our opinion, this track would not be out of place on a compilation such as the Invisible series from the Vision Recordings camp. We're excited to see and hear more of the talented Sneaky soon.

The second track is from Heavy Sonics favourite DJ/producer, Counter Culture. The track, "Percolate", is a deep number from CC who is experimenting with the darker side of minimal drum and bass. This one fits perfectly on the B side of the release and would go off in any club on a big system. Counter Culture shows his versatility on this one, moving away from his usual silky liquid drum and bass vibes.

The next track is a collaboration between US-based Skorpion and UK-based Sceptre. "Jungle Curry" is a high-energy and frenetic track with a big bassline and punchy drums. This one will take you rolling into the weekend and is a serious weapon for any DJ to draw for. Skorpion and Sceptre are a spicy collaboration and also wicked individual artists in their own right, so go and check them out!

Last but not least on the compilation is all-round sound fanatic, Trench, featuring the mesmerising vocals of the talented Katja. Being a sound recordist and engineer, Trench has been crafting his sound over the years and we love what he is currently putting out. The track "Wanted" is a stripped-back number with funky drums and instrumental elements that add soul alongside the amazing vocals. The amount of groove on this one is 11/10 and we are really happy to close out the EP with this track.

With a bit of everything, Next Gen Vol. 2 hits all the vibes that we love, from deep and dark, to heavy and frenetic, to light and jazzy. Whether you are listening at home or loading up your USB for the club, there's something on here for you.

The Heavy Sonics "Next Gen" series is dedicated to nurturing and promoting emerging artists and this release is a must-listen for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve in the underground drum and bass scene. Keep an eye on these rising stars; they are only just getting started!

IT’S NOT OVER EP
J Plates x DJ Paradise
A1 / It’s Not Over
A2 / Told You
B / Sensation

💬 J Plates x DJ Paradise are back at the Mackie controls with latest offering ‘It’s Not Over EP'; featuring a sharp selection of left field, head nodding cuts!

Opening single ‘It’s Not Over’ dominates with it’s gloomy intro of tense strings, moody vocals & throbbing sub bass pressure, later switching to a more light hearted section of drum edits & luscious pad chords.

Meanwhile ’Told You’ sets a forward momentum with dreamy pads, filtered synths and a vocal refrain that drips in authenticity; it’s off kilter bass line sets the groove alongside a shuffled barrage of break beats & accompanying percussion which keeps things moving.

Closing track ’Sensation’ triumphantly rounds out the release with it’s nostalgic vocals, fizzy pads, and dominating technical assault of twisted midrange grit, layered alongside a weighty bass line!

To mark this sensational occasion, J Plates x DJ Paradise are offering B side single ’Sensation' as a ‘pay what you like’ download (exclusive to Bandcamp)!

It's Not Over EP

Told You

Told You [JPEP009]

After five years of planning, writing, and refining their sound, London-based production duo Kolectiv are set to release their long-awaited debut drum & bass album, Circadian Rhythms.

The project began in the aftermath of the pandemic, when the pair started setting aside tracks that captured the spirit of a night out at a drum & bass event. Their vision was clear: to create an album that reflects the variety, energy, and progression of a rave – from the first beats that pull you into the closing sounds that carry you home.

“Going out to drum & bass nights, you’d hear so many different flavours across six or seven hours. We wanted the album to follow that same arc – like a circadian rhythm, a natural flow of time, but in this case the cycle of a rave,” Kolectiv explain.

To achieve this, the duo placed a strong emphasis on originality and sound design. Most of the album was built from scratch using their own recorded samples, crafted through sessions with keys, drums, and guitars, and only dipping into external sources when absolutely necessary. Vocal collaborations from PAV4N, Hijak MC, Illmatika and Kerry Donnelly add unique flavour to the project, while carefully placed interludes tie the project together as a complete listening experience.

“This isn’t just a collection of tracks. We wanted it to be a journey – a cradle-to-grave kind of experience – with highs, lows, and moments to breathe.”

The title Circadian Rhythms captures that intention perfectly: an audio diary of a night spent immersed in drum & bass culture, told through Kolectiv’s trademark blend of technical precision and emotional depth.

The project also coincided with a complete studio overhaul, giving Kolectiv a fresh environment to finalize and mix down the record with a renewed sense of clarity and focus.

With Circadian Rhythms, Kolectiv deliver more than an album – they present a story, an atmosphere, and a tribute to the music and culture that shaped them.
