Hadley - I Dont Know You Ft Sahala

Next up to dine at the CIA top table is none other than The Infuriator himself, the infamous T>I. Making serious waves over the last few years to say the least, T>I has become a name synonymous with stripped back and minimal trickery and his ‘Locksmith EP’ brings that trademark Norwich Colmans ping as standard, getting you more than ready to lob your Fray Bentos Chicken & Mushroom across the front room. 

We probably all know that anger that comes when you have to call out ‘The Locksmith’. My guy’s going to sting you for a chunk of cash to drill out your front door. This could be the soundtrack to either the drilling or the murder style the track suggests. 

Sounding possibly repentant for lobbing that pie, but probably not, as they definitely deserved it, ‘Bongolian Belt Roller’ rolls and chugs it’s way alongside its classic soul sample. 

And pies are flying all over the shop with ‘Let It Go’, it’s classic breaks teamed with new school drums and whopping bass stabs. And it sure would be a totally ‘Valid Statement’ to say this EP’s gonna pop off; V style samples and knocking bass taking you to some sweaty underground Bristol rave in 2045. 

T>I brings a true four-course meal to CIA with his Locksmith EP – it’s chewy, not chalky.

Quadrant & Iris are finally back on CIA, with Seattle’s deadliest Drum & Bass duo returning to the fold for yet another master class in future funk. 
Their last foray on the label was actually already six years ago, and with only a handful of weighty and laser precise contributions to the scene in the interim, their return is both overdue and welcome in equal measure. 
A Quadrant & Iris release promises a heady mix of top-drawer production expertly interlaced with melancholy and depth. Their new ‘Double Path EP’ almost seems to reference this, each of the four compositions a twisted journey. 

‘Accurate’ is as it states, straight to the point and the most stripped of the four. ‘Double Path’ pairs scatter gun breaks with an acidic bass before dropping into deeper territory, whilst ‘Ambergris’ is almost like a deep dive into early 2000’s liquid, with ‘Sonder’ tidily wrapping up the package, 
The EP feels like a succinct melding of both artists dance music influences, with a range of bases touched upon, a nod to what inspires them. This is production mastery at it’s finest, so jump right into Quadrant & Iris’ Double Path world.

DLR's Sofa Sound imprint locks in a heavyweight hurter from Trakker in the form of "Stabbing Pains." Taken from his debut EP of the same name, the dank and dirty vibes that Trakker kicks out on this one prove to be the perfect introduction to the drum and bass swerve that the full EP reveals.

Scotty - Breach [Premiere]

We’re huge fans of Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn over here so this one should come as no surprise. Stripped the og down to the basics and built it back up with fresh beats for an easy, jazzy roller.

Next up from Sofa Sound is the forthcoming collaborations from drum & bass heavyweights DLR, Break, Randall and Ulterior Motive, a collective who’ve all helped to pioneer the genre whilst staying inherently underground. Whilst Break and Randall have laid its foundations, producers like DLR and Ulterior Motive have shaped the more contemporary scene, although both tracks signify the colossal engineering standards of each featuring artist. The established names also bring their weight to Sofa Sound’s back catalogue, which has expanded since its creation by DLR in 2017. 

DLR, Break and Randall come together for lead track ‘Song & Dance’, an old-school reminiscent roller with snipped up, mc-lead vocal samples and jazzy instrumentals. The energy between all three artists is instantly recognisable, with Randall’s old-school approach shining through each layer. On top of strung guitar notes and a hook which nods to its namesake, ‘Song & Dance’ blends a mixture of styles to present a versatile addition to Sofa Sound.

Next comes ‘Modules’, featuring a combination of sonics recorded through Ulterior Motive’s modular set up. The ruminating drums and basses brought from the collections of their collaborators deliver its funkier elements, with the bassline fluctuating between notes and twisting its way through a melodic undertow. Alongside its unusual structure, the track’s organic approach and frequent switches grab its listener unaware. Another imperative release on Sofa Sound, the imprint has shown its commitment to artists from across the spectrum, through both its digital releases and physical discography additions.
