Welcoming Joe Koshin to the Time Is Now family with a release of two halves. Delirium EP takes us on a whiplash journey through the contemporary iterations of breakbeat hardcore before slowing down the pace and stationing in UKG’s shadier corners.

With previous releases on Planetaria Music and Gimme A Break Records, Joe Koshin has been making some serious waves with his no-prisoner approach to breaks and jungle. Delirium EP sees the London producer continue in this vein with two raucous breakbeat hardcore tracks, and two dark garage tracks which boast the style’s potential to be at once introspective and club-ready. 

‘Chunk’ slams things into action. And if you thought the clattering drum breaks and growling low-ends couldn’t do more to rip open a dancefloor, just wait for the switch-up. Stutters that Sully would be proud of. The title track grounds itself firmly in the genre’s antecedents: breakbeat which is at once gloriously old-skool and fiercely forward-facing. Flip to the B side and it is configurations of dark garage that take to the fore: first adorned with a hypnotic melody that floats above pitched-up vocals (‘T4LK 2 M3’), and later energised by a buoyant swing which implores you to move (‘Spectra Don’).

Delirium EP drops 29th April via Time Is Now.

A few years ago I made a very silly edit of Give It To Me, by Nelly Furtardo & Timbaland for my birthday - well, I recently turned 25 and thought I'd do the same again...

I've spiced up Frisky by Tinie Tempah, a teenage house party anthem from my youth. Cliché vocal chops, big drums and big subs - get stuck in

Vancouver-based artist Destrata chalks up his first solo release for Of Paradise with Counterweight, a multi-layered, richly-textured and often hyper-real journey through new school club music. Placing the critical elements of UK-flavoured bass and breaks under the microscope, Destrata’s scientific approach to production sees him examine everything in minute detail, disassembling and reassembling every aspect of a track until a structurally perfect composition emerges. 

Featuring four highly immersive cuts, Counterweight showcases a flux of atmospheric inspirations, displaying Destrata’s enthusiasm for more ethereal and fractal sounds built to ooze through back rooms, safeguarding the listener with a weighty lushness.

LAMBO [25 VIP]

Stepco makes his QRUK debut with Check The Wrist, a tough Electro club tool that brings a darker, more minimal flavour to the label. Known for his roots in the South Wales House and Techno scene, the Swansea-based producer has turned heads with two large and in charge releases on Get Physical. This latest cut sees him lean into the more dark UK sound, keeping things stripped and rolling with crisp drums and chopped up vocals.

On remix duties is the QRUK regular Kabo Cana, who flips the title track into a faster club-ready stepper. It's a big follow-up to his standout QRUK debut I DONT UNDERSTAND, and comes ahead of another remix from him on the Nagasaki EP with James Young.
