Bluefootjai returns with more atmospheric dancefloor beauty. Starting with the stepping rhythms and infectious keys of Classified Ops he takes us on a heavenly journey through beats, bass and soulful melodics. Ethereal Ascent begins with calm pads and twinkling keys as the beats and atmospheres build into a sublime and relaxing journey to a new world. Masking takes classic breaksbeats, nostalgic chords and reflective melodies as the bass drives the track forward into another world of atmospheric beauty. The EP ends on Mission Is Possible, a stunning musical odyssey that evolves with arpeggios and subtle pads into a relaxed and pensive end to this fantastic new EP. Bluefootjai goes from strength to strength and we look forward to his next musical ventures.

Gremlinz x Jesta - Holocron [DSCI4]

REFRACTION is thrilled to celebrate its first anniversary with a milestone release: the label’s very first vinyl record.

Label founder Pedro Capelossi teams up with the talented and knowledgeable Francesco Mami to present the Lajka EP, featuring three captivating original tracks. Adding to the EP’s uniqueness, remixes are delivered by renowned dub master Mathimidori and Brazil’s rising star, Chiari.

This distinctive and innovative project was crafted by Pedro and Francesco in his studio in Italy, seamlessly blending their individual styles to create something truly special.

“Lajka” kicks off the EP with a hybrid and highly original piece of music. Distorted chords, percussive rhythms, an irresistible drive, and epic moments all come together to define this standout track.

The second track “Kota” delivers a powerful dub techno banger. Robust chords and a fantastic atmosphere combine with a rich, full-bodied groove to create an unforgettable experience.

“Lajkinha” serves as the grand finale. True to its name, originality takes center stage here. This groovy deep house track is highlighted by a mesmerizing bass solo that could keep you captivated for hours.

Mathimidori, the downtempo and dub alias of Mathias Kaden, adds his signature touch to the EP. 

His interpretation of Lajka is a relaxed and dub-infused version, featuring beautiful vocal snippets, intricate moving chords, and a sublime dub groove that perfectly complements the track’s essence.

Chiari once again proves his prowess as an exceptional producer with his remix of Lajka. 

The Brazilian talent delivers a fantastic deep tech rework, seamlessly blending groove and energy to create a track that’s destined to ignite dance floors.

The 2nd official single from Kuttin Edge’s (115), Geiger Scale experiments with a playful but controlled randomness, minimal structure, and off-grid sequencing, with loose notes and a laidback groove formed of irregular rhythmic patterns. The track conjures images of power stations and smoking factory chimneys. Potent.

Slippery (Syglit's Remix) [Splice Remix Competition]

"Nocturnal Hustle" is a high-octane blend of G-House grit and Bass House bounce, built for dark rooms, underground clubs, and after-hour drives.
Driven by hypnotic grooves, thick basslines, and streetwise vocal cuts, this album captures the raw pulse of the nocturnal underworld.
From warehouse-ready anthems to shadowy late-night rollers, every track is engineered for movement.

For those who live in the rhythm between midnight and morning.

[YAMREC045]

One of the scene’s most exciting new faces has arrived an artist who has spent the last decade meticulously honing his production skills, refining a signature sound that’s minimal, immaculate, and unmistakably his own. After steadily gaining momentum over the past year, with major support from none other than minimal heavyweight Teej, he’s quickly become a name to watch in Drum & Bass.
We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome another standout artist to the Yamatai family in 2025 someone who truly embodies a style of Drum &* Bass we hold close to our hearts.

We welcome the notorious German producer Re:growth.

Re:growth joins the Yamatai imprint with his highly anticipated debut single ‘Nonanom / Take Me’ a devastating two-tracker that’s already turning heads across some of the world’s most iconic clubs, including Motion, Melkweg, and Grelle Forelle

Since making waves with his breakout ‘Get Close EP’ on Empathy Audio in 2024, Kevin (aka Re:growth) has been on an unstoppable rise. Blending dark, minimal textures with a razor-sharp underground sensibility, he’s delivered standout cuts like ‘Pluka’ and ‘Don’t Talk’, earning him a coveted collaboration with minimal maestro Teej on ‘Juxtapose / Mori’. The buzz hasn’t slowed since, with more projects in the pipeline including more upcoming work on Nyx and whispers of a release on Transparent Audio.

His Yamatai debut marks a significant milestone in this upward journey. Both ‘Nonanom’ and ‘Take Me’ are masterclasses in minimal production tracks that have been rigorously tested across European clubs and radio, gaining widespread acclaim.

Re:growth is not just arriving he’s making a statement.

Exclusive to Beatport, Spotify & Bandcamp on the 18th of July 2025!!

INK : The story so far......

An architect first visualizes then realises, making something out of nothing, making sure that not only the object itself shines but also the space around it. The sound is moulding, shaping and morphing at the hands of Dj Ink... 

The year is 1990 and a young Dj Ink has solidified his love for the culture known as hip hop- as the years move on so does UK street music, there are new genres forming and Ink begins to hear what is familiar to him, but there is a new twist-It is the UK passing by the USA, with a huge dose of African and Jamaican influence, This is music to a budding Dj Ink's ears, he naturally becomes involved and it doesn’t take too long before he begins to make his mark. 

First begins the Pirate radio circuit. Working hard at his craft and allowing the followers to get familiar with the roll, steadily bookings began to build up and soon it would be time for Ink to become associated with three names that changed the landscape of British electronic music-Basement Records, and slightly later Metalheadz and Renegade Hardware. Ink would go onto form his own imprint- Architecture Recordings, releasing anthems from himself and various crew members, bringing through new talent and the cream of the heavy hitters within drum n bass. If you're familiar with drum n bass/jungle you’ll know instantly the weight these labels carry, and if you're not by just scratching the surface you’ll become aware of the impact they have had. Renegade Hardware & Metalheadz are two commitments Dj Ink has upheld to this day, through thick and thin, engraved in the wall of time.

Essential work includes 'The 50th (Blueprint)' (1st Drum and Bass/Jungle tune selected live by a dj (LTJ Bukem) on BBC Radio 1 essential DnB show ever!) and "Altitude" on Basement Records, ‘Feel da heat’ taken from the LP ‘Can u draw sound?’ on Architecture Recordings, ‘Kaos Theory EP’ on Renegade Hardware, ‘Shine’ on Metalheadz, and the now infamous posse cut ‘Instinct’ also on Architecture, this is just a small fraction by Ink that has made waves. 

The now famous "Horsemen" project was a concept headed up by Ink, Loxy, Dylan & Keaton. Originally formed due to the affinities amongst the original four, the crew went onto bring together producers from all over the globe under the "Horsemen" banner- beat makers who have been inspired by the foundations laid down by The Four Horsemen went on to receive acclaim from critics and music buyers alike.

Ink has a number of long players under his belt, to select a few In chronological order these are - Incision and Can You Draw Sound for Architecture Recordings, Hard Soul w/ Perpetuum for Colours Audio and: The Last Scroll for Renegade Hardware. In more recent events we have "The Tree & The Wind" by INK & SIN also on Architecture Recordings.  With these credits to his name it is fair to say INK continues to make his mark on DnB.

Releases on:
Soul Deep 
Smooth N Groove
Four Corners Music
Locked Up 

Support from:
Doc Scott
Melinki
Scott Allen

Mini Bio:
Schooled by Bukem and the Speed sound, influenced by hip hop, dub and techno, the classically trained A:D (Adrian Ford-Crush) brings this all together in his music. Drum and Bass head for life you'll find this ex Londoner clinging to a bass bin at Sun and Bass or rinsing out in his home town of Hastings in the UK.
