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.

Devnull + Tim Reaper - BTTO Radio May 18th 2025

This was recording of the set from Tim Reaper & Sully at the recent Roots Records Warehouse party we hosted on May 9th 2025.  These dudes are stellar producers / djs / humans altogether!  Was a pleasure to work for the 2nd time with Tim Reaper and meeting Sully for the first time and getting to connect with him for a few days while he stayed in town.  I think the event went off amazing and everyone had a fantastic time!  Until next time E & J!

I was able to stream the event live on my show on Jungletrain and bounced out the recording for everyone's listening pleasure!

These 2 were kind enough to supply a tracklist for the set as well!  Enjoy!!!

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.
