deep & dark XI

Lifestyle is very pleased to welcome back to the label bass-mangler extraordinaire Nami! This time joining forces with a fellow Russian; Kapha, an elusive producer from the underground making his first marks on the scene, and sizable marks at that! The two tunes smack of Nami's dark and experimental style, each having a distinctive sound that's certain to get the gun fingers & grimaces out! 

A-side Praxis is a cold slice of experimental tech; a minimal introduction drops into an ultra-dark, driving bass & break, that doesn't relent. The track channels the vibe of heavy industrial techno, while retaining an irresistible neuro groove through some clever bass & drum programming. Another really unique sounding tune from Nami that will stick out a set, in the best way, and have people fumbling online for an ID the day after. 

The flip, Transmitter, is another high-energy, reese-heavy banger. The core of the track is a repeating mid-bass reese riff, laid on top of huge sub stabs and swells. As the tune progresses the spectrum thickens out even further, with even more interesting bass movement, weird atmospheric objects and textures. The track is basically a masterclass in otherworldly audio & modern bass design, which is nothing less than expected from Nami, who is cementing himself as one of the main players pushing the envelope in underground drum & bass. The inclusion of Kapha on this release is super promising too, and as a new artist has really made an impression on us with these tracks, one to keep an eye on for sure!

With one foot set in the future and another amongst neurofunk DNB's architects, Nick's trademark sound is not easily classified. Morphing, animalistic basslines project through sonic space in perfectly organized chaos, with structure provided by painfully sharp drums. Never conforming to any set mold, Nickbee's allegiance to innovation makes a quirky, experimental element a defining factor of his music. Perhaps most impressive is the young artist's mastery of next-level sound design, which is never forced or overdone; only tastefully applied in careful amounts, always striking that perfect balance of hi-tech and low-fi…a skill reserved only for experts. Examples of Nick’s sonic expertise have appeared on AXON, INVISIBLE (NL), EATBRAIN (HU), BAD TASTE (UK), and DISPATCH (UK), to name a few. As this producer continues to defy formula and rewrite DNB's blueprint, it becomes clear that only one word can adequately describe this future sound of drum & bass… NickBee.
We are proud to welcome NICKBEE to the DISSECTED CULTURE parade!
Opening full of dramatic strings and tension building stabs, NickBee brings in a right old stepper of a beat. Big bass horns and tribal drums rouse the bass face like a battle cry and carries you to the frontline of the warzone. With only the subtle elements of the original track on display, this remix stands on its own and delivers a fresh new take on Volatile's work, just like a good remix should. Strap on your plate carrier for this one boys and girls, danger close.

Analog mastered by Beau @ Ten Eight Seven Mastering, UK

Following his widely appraised ‘Shadows and Silhouettes’ LP, Hugh Hardie’s latest offering is his most unique to date. During isolation, the Bristol-based producer set himself a challenge to write a new track from scratch every day for 7 days birthing the ‘7 Tunes In 7 Days’ project. For what would be a daunting process for many creatives, Hugh explained that the time limit “made it impossible to procrastinate or overthink decisions” - allowing his ideas to come to fruition more fluidly. Continuing to showcase his sonic diversity, ‘7 Tunes In 7 Days’ is home to soulful liquid funk, sub-heavy new wave jungle and minimal yet deep drum & bass bangers.

Setting the bar high from the offset, the week began with the creation of ‘Back & Forth’ which sees melancholic arpeggios and captivating pad hits rest delicately above signature rolling breakbeats. The EP varies between old school jungle influences on ‘Klaxon’ and soothing vocal chops contrasting coherently with gated synths as that much-loved Hospital loungecore style shines through in Day 4’s ‘CNK’.

Teaming up with the acclaimed duo Pola & Bryson for Day 6, ‘Bending Light’ consists of elegant flourishes and heartfelt strings. For the final day, Hugh upped the challenge by deciding to not use any loops or samples, instead making use of his hardware synths and microphone to record the purrs and meows of his cat Gretchen to create pads and a bass line for the aptly titled, ‘Gretchen Bass’. This techy stepper is a perfect round off to a successful week of music-making. As Hugh said himself - “Sometimes all you need is a microphone and a cat”.

Hugh Hardie’s ‘7 Tunes In 7 Days’ project displays the versatility of his production and creative ability. Making the most of his time in isolation, Hugh attempted to demonstrate the numerous benefits of staying at home during these difficult times, when the world needs music more than ever.

PREMIERE: Tyrone 'OG's' [Guidance Music]

KOSMOS115DGTL 

Kelle "Zerkalo EP" 

1. Zerkalo
2. Stucked
3. Last Drops Of Petrol
4. Babruysk Roller
5. Tishina

Release date: July 15, 2020 

KOS.MOS.MUSIC is happy to present the second solo work by Hungarian producer Kelle, who started to release on our label as part of Kelle & Juha duet.
The new "Zerkalo EP" - is five selected drum’n’bass rollers varying from pretty aspirational music as in the initial and the last track of the release, to punchy and, at times, sounding industrial in "Last Drops…" or "Stucked", and with echoes of techmospheric rush as in "Babruysk Roller".
We suppose, the new production by Kelle will find the love of it’s listeners as it has already happened before with his previous "Ostankino EP".

‘It’s been nine years since my first release on Dispatch Recordings (Structure made with Skeptical). In that time I’ve featured on so many releases with some great producers (DLR, Homemade Weapons, Black Barrel, Dub Head, Tephra & Arkoze, Bredren). I have built a back catalogue of music that I’m incredibly proud of. It’s with great pleasure that I can now present my own project – the Frequencies EP.

This is the culmination of over two years of work – what started as a collaboration with Test Switch has grown to become a varied collection of tracks featuring some of my close friends and allies within the scene. The title track – Frequencies – is a particularly poignant moment as I have known Ben for nearly 15 years. He was the first promoter to offer me a proper residency, and I continue to play at his night – the Bristol-based ‘Intrigue’ – to this day.

This EP has allowed me to showcase my versatility as an artist. I’ve balanced the more aggressive lyrical styles (something for the heads that like to hear an MC spit!) with the catchy dance floor rollers and some laid back, conscious grooves. Whatever you are into, I’d like to think you will find it here.

‘Frequencies’ is also a pivotal moment in my career as – for the first time – I am the lead artist as opposed to a ‘feature’. This scene can sometimes undervalue the role of the MC, and I think it’s critical that we are recognised as artists within our own rights.

However, I am completely aware that without the hard work of the producers involved, there would be no music. I cannot make tracks on my own; I do not claim to be a producer. It’s a team effort, and I only work with people that I get along with, where there is mutual respect. I am super grateful to all of the guys for the beats they’ve made.

Enjoy the tracks. The next batch of ammo is already in the chamber, got to keep things moving forward!’ Fokus.

Tracklist:
1. Fokus & Test Switch – Water Tight
2. Fokus, Ben Soundscape, RoyGreen & Protone – Frequencies
3. Fokus, DBR UK & Structured – Bloodwater VIP
4. Fokus, Tephra & Arkoze – Pitch Black
5. Fokus, Paolo, Hillzy, Tephra & Arkoze – Mantra

Esteemed Russian D+B producers Bop x Subwave are back with the second release under their new collaborative project. The four-track ‘Dream On’ EP is a perfect encapsulation of the pair’s style, seamlessly infusing their sounds to create a unique and refreshing project whereby the duo have once again tested the boundaries of D+B moving into the realms of garage and lo-fi jungle.


Kicking off the EP is ‘Higher Dimension’, a synthwave-infused D+B number with a dark twist. Dreamlike vocals drenched in reverb combined with nostalgic synths and an unforgiving bassline set the listener up for what’s to come. The minimal yet soulful ‘Escape From U’ follows, bringing crisp percussion and melancholic vibes to this sublime stepper.

‘Lo-Fi Romance’ leads the way for the second half of the EP. Airy pads and bare-bone breaks lay the foundations for this simple yet sophisticated liquid roller. Switching up the vibe yet staying true to the distinct Bop x Subwave sound, ‘Haze’ rounds off the EP, taking things down to 130BPM territory. A clear homage to the sounds of the UK underground with garage-influenced drums and a hard hitting sub.

After the success of their debut EP ‘Love & Other Drugs’ including a number 1 track in the Beatport Garage chart, appraisal from key electronic music publications such as DJ Mag and Resident Advisor as well as radio support across BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM and Reprezent, it’s set to be a huge year for the duo project.
