Criso, a relatively new name to Dubstep, not only in the UK but also in America, delivers the “Make Some Noise” EP on Mala’s DEEP MEDi.

“It wasn’t until 2021 that I started getting into dubstep, actual dubstep.”

Bootlegs, EPs and mixes gained early attention from the likes of Skream, Mala, Hamdi and live shows supporting Of The Trees, EPROM, Truth and Ternion Sound + more soon followed.

Criso’s 1st UK release features verses from Pav4n and Rakjay on “Strictly Business”, originally a Strategy bootleg, as well a co-production with the mysterious Crastinate on “Dialed”.

Criso will be making some noise in the UK scene with this 4 track EP :  29th July 2025

Sciama - Between Veils [SMDE52]

Released on 5 Track 12" and Digital

Collector’s Special Edition Limited to 50 copies and exclusive to voidvinyl.eu and Bandcamp

With a steely sound matching fathoms-deep echo chambers with metallic textures and precision drums, Sciama arrives on Samurai Music to press into the inspiring hinterland between techno and drum & bass.

Sciama is the production alias for Michael Watters, a producer who since 2019 has carved out a formidable reputation across a stellar run of releases on ASC’s Auxiliary label. While his music references UK bass, transcendental techno and industrial, the end result is a taut, focused journey through fractured, weighty rhythms and vast, ranging atmospherics tilted towards the darkness.

Between Veils is testament to Watters’ refined production, steeped in intensely detailed and layered sound design in constant fluid motion, whether locked to the grid or shifting across the surface of the track like grayscale snow drifts. Noise becomes a subtle tool in his hands, capable of delicacy as much as abrasion, and discord evokes a haunting beauty if you listen past the clangorous overtones he elicits from his pads.

Moving well beyond the boundaries of any specific genre, Between Veils winds up as a strong, independent statement on the meeting point between broad influences and clear intentions — a formidable addition to Samurai Music’s explorations beyond drum & bass and Sciama’s steadily evolving, singular style.
