“Dexta and Crypticz are delighted to announce their long awaited 12” single, ‘Together’, featuring two remixes from Munich-based Danny Scrilla. Two years in the making, the project will finally see the light of day on 10th November 2017 via Diffrent Music.

A. Original Mix
B1. Danny Scrilla Reslice
B2. Danny Scrilla Reflop

A fusion of Drum & Bass, Jungle, House and Garage, ‘Together’ is built for the dancefloor. The track borrows vocals and breaks from the early ‘90s, while blending drum machines, bass samples and vintage effect processes crafted by Dexta & Crypticz.

Danny Scrilla debuts on the label with a pair of remixes. The ‘Reslice’, is a great example of signature Scrilla, manipulating the original parts into an exploration of dubby, half time soundsystem music. His ‘Reflop’, meanwhile, is a 140bpm re-think, splicing chopped up breaks and bass stabs from the original along with strong percussion lines and weird vocal edits.

Since his outing on Hospital Records in 2015, and his debut ‘SE4 EP’ on Diffrent Music last year, Dexta – otherwise known as Londoner Chris Royle – has released the third part in an ongoing series for None60 Recordings, honing tracks for dancefloors and stereos alike.

Somerset’s Crypticz (aka Jordan Parsons) has had quite an eventful 12 months, with his ‘Echo Sound EP’ on Doc Scott’s 31 Recordings, and more recently the ‘Forever EP’ Om Unit’s Cosmic Bridge imprint, while evolving his club performance from a DJ set to a custom live show consisting solely of his own music and explorations in sound design. This single comes two weeks after his latest release, the ‘Access You EP’, also on Diffent Music, which set a new benchmark for Jordan, refining his sound to its highest quality.

Danny Scrilla (born Daniel Pirkl) has gone from strength to strength this year, dropping a cassette tape project on Cosmic Bridge, compiled of 16 synth and hardware-led experiments. Last month Dan also released a collaborative 12” with Sam Binga called ‘Weird In Munich’ – a superb effort, pushing boundaries from both their usual styles – before putting out an EP for Amit’s AMAR imprint in early September.

Yoofee - Clart [TTE006]

Recent Vancouver transplant Captivate, strikes a graceful balance between old school jungle and forward thinking halftime with his forthcoming "Kailash" EP on Toronto's  Deviant Audio. He is joined by Canadian stalwarts Stranjah and Levrige on "Slackline," a soulful percussive production with mature pacing and clarity of vision.  

"After spending the better part of a decade honing in on his sound, the veil is slowly peeling back on a very crafty beat-smith.

Trained in the deadly arts of sound design and engineering, the young man known as Captivate delivers an uncompromising body of work in the form of this debut EP “Kailash” on Deviant Audio.

Taking a beautiful approach to space and time, Captivate opens the listener up to a world of matte-glamorous half-time jungle with nods to the roots as well as a piercing glare into the future...

If you’re still reading this, it’s not too late; turn this EP on and feel it for yourself. The future is now and Captivate has just delivered it to us all on an intangible yet visceral platter, get it."

Astrophonica maintain pace in 2020 as Philip D Kick returns to the label with the 6 track “As We Continue”. Following 2018’s “Pathways” Jim Coles aka Om Unit aka Philip D Kick adds some shine and sparkle to his already near perfect and persistent formula. Coles remains dedicated to blurring the lines and joining the dots. As we continue . . .

‘Drips’ sets the pace and opens the flood gates with a flowing groove and lingering bass womps like condensation off a low ceiling. ‘160909313’ steamrolls through with a constant Turbo drum machine drive accelerated by a non stop rolling bass riff. The doors are well and truly blown off in ‘Funk 160’ as a planet rocking breakbeat and infectious chord stabs set the pace with confidence and class. Balmy pads caress a lazy groove in ‘Summer Moods’ and conjure feelings of long evenings and ever lasting sunsets. The Riviera is all bit crushed pads and elite level breakbeat science while you enjoy the passing vistas. ’Clouds’ brings this episode to a close with a smooth glide through the stratosphere and beyond with 4/4 kicks and luscious bass arp.

'This record for me reflects the ongoing conversation between cultures and styles where jungle meets footwork meets techno, 3 cultures that share more in common than perhaps people realise, and for me this is more of a in-depth exploration for example of sonic tropes more prevalent in the world of detroit techno than other previous records. 'Clouds' and '160909313' for example being somewhat of an homage to Detroit, the birthplace of techno, yet another black music that changed the world.' - Philip D Kick / Om Unit
