ESAF019 – UnConfirmed Format

ESAF Records

019 brings more off-grid music from Bigchoc. Few relatively new ideas, some older soundscapes that waited for the right moment to surface.

All of it still carries that Noble identity: raw, self-assured, and in no rush to explain itself.

Across these eight tracks, you’ll find flickers of paranoia (Snakes & Grassers), clarity (Internal Bliss), bounce (Bring The Funk), and fractured sentiment (Sending My Love). From the reptilian weight of Komodo to the space and silence of Blank Paper, each track moves its own way. Switchboard scrambles the signal; Get It Get Gone finishes the thought and exits without fanfare.

No formula. No confirmation. Just another chapter in ESAF’s ongoing refusal to play it safe.

Bigchoc – The Trailblazer
Drum & Bass Since ‘08 | Creating Without Limits | Art In All Forms | Funk n Flava

A boundary-pushing producer, DJ, and sound system specialist, Bigchoc carves their own path in the drum & bass scene—never following trends, always innovating. A true audio purist with a love for hardware and left-field sonic exploration, they embrace the role of the black sheep, bringing raw, refined, and deeply personal energy to their music.

Self-taught in an era before endless online tutorials, Bigchoc’s DIY approach shaped their distinctive sound. Since launching ESAF Records in 2018, they’ve dropped 17 releases, with additional cuts on Fokuz Records and Sub Wavelength Recordings. Collaborations with respected artists like Luke Truth and Robert Manos have further cemented their place in the scene.

Bigchoc’s music has earned airplay on BBC Radio, with standout tunes like Chi and Shelflife gaining traction. DJs and presenters regularly feature their tracks in weekly online shows and Mixcloud sets, keeping their sound in constant rotation.

As a resident DJ at Breakthru, the home of liquid and soulful drum & bass in Birmingham, Bigchoc delivers immersive, high-energy sets. They’ve also played at the Janbala Festival for two consecutive years, bringing deep, soulful selections to festival crowds. Beyond the music, their expertise in sound system setups ensures every event is a next-level experience.

With fresh projects on the horizon, Bigchoc continues to redefine expectations—pushing drum & bass into new territory while staying true to their vision.
