Nu:Motive Guest Mix - Lucidik

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.

Charlie Milan Cummings, professionally known as Amalgamate, is a UK-based Drum & Bass producer hailing from the Welsh capital of Cardiff. 

As is suggested by the alias, his productions amalgamate an array of musical influences, all of which glue together to form a crisp, dynamic, and high-octane frenzy of 170BPM fuelled sounds. His debut EP, ‘Destroy Humans’, provides the perfect snapshot into this, with a melodic frenzy of synths, stabs, and succulent sound design, reesy manoeuvres, colourful percussive plucks, and blistering bass processing at the forefront of the project. 

As well as producing, Charlie is the founder of the D&B record label @breakbeatsandbasslines , which aims to bring a new dimension of fresh, high-octane, and idiosyncratic sounds to the genre. Also a freelance music journalist and MA student at Cardiff University, Amalgamate is dedicated to pursuing a life abundant with the music that he loves.
