Superwave EP: 
Following up on the drops from Gyrofield and Tim Reaper, Low End Activist arrives on Best Intentions with four mutant workouts up-cycled from dormant projects and moulded into weighty, outer limits club gear.
 
Low End Activist is best known for his sizeable output across Sneaker Social Club, Peak Oil and his own LEA label, where he twists grime and dubstep structures to gnarly, tweaked soundscapes indebted to dystopian sci-fi and social realism. Stepping up to Kasra's Best Intentions label, he tries a different approach by combing back through his archives of samples and stems and piecing together tracks with a sharp, surgical intent. 
 
In a canny display of stop-start dynamics, the A side comes through resolutely moody between the minimal, eerie atmospherics of ‘Wave ’01 and the dislocated vocal trickery and half-step pressure of ‘Wave 02’. On ‘Wave ’03 you can hear the click and crunch of early days Perlon and the rudeboy swing of El B, while the drums on ‘Wave ’04 lock into the mechanical rotation of Gescom as a counterpoint to the enduring hardcore influence coursing underneath the surface of the track. 
 
Maintaining Best Intentions' commitment to fundraising, all proceeds from BEST003 will be donated to Medical Aid For Palestine (https://www.map.org.uk/)

Gone Rogue

Toby Ross with Duality - 04 July 2025

🌏 Australia Dreamflow is a Drum & Bass odyssey inspired by the vast landscapes, sacred places, and wild energy of the continent.
From coral reefs at sunrise to the neon pulse of the cities and the raw fire of the Outback, each track flows like a journey through sound.
Didgeridoo drones, tribal rhythms, and atmospheric textures merge with euphoric melodies, deep sub-bass, and heavy club drops.
A fusion of nature and future – Australia in Drum & Bass.
