* FULL INTERVIEW:  https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-sha-ru

Blending spoken word, heavy bass and club-driven experimentation into something raw, physical and deeply immersive, Sha Ru have carved out a sound that is as cerebral as it is visceral — one that uses low frequencies, texture and space to question how music is felt, not just heard. Their sonic world thrives on contrasts: poetry and pressure, intimacy and intensity, narrative and noise. It’s a language built from the ground up, tuned as much to the body’s response as to the ear’s perception.

With their brand-new self-released EP Vibra Vibra (out October 23), Sha Ru push this philosophy even further. Each track explores how sound ripples through the body and transforms space: sub-bass compressing the chest, subterranean frequencies grounding the gut, buzzing waves pulsing through the skull. It’s a work that positions bass as architecture — a tangible force shaping bodies and rooms alike — and in doing so, it reimagines the dancefloor as a deeply physical environment.

To mark the release, Sha Ru join our MIXED BY series with both an exclusive mix and an in-depth conversation. Across the interview below, the duo dive into the sonic science behind Vibra Vibra, the collaborative dynamic that powers their work, and the political and poetic dimensions that run through their art. Then, in the mix, they extend that exploration into a hypnotic, body-centric journey — a sonic landscape built to be felt in every cell as much as heard in every ear.

A Bristol x Paris link-up between SSSLIP and Bamao Yendé delivers with BP028. A label debut for both artists on the BPR original series. All killer no filler ear worms from across the spectrum. “On The Dial” and vinyl only cut “Don Plz” offer something for those sillier hours, while “Brek Stance” and “Kalypso” host the artists' deeper servings. A balanced collection of functional low end tools for the dance.

Flip The Lid is a label prone to movement. Originally started in London as a radio show, before then making its way to Aotearoa/New Zealand, and now finally settling in Boorloo/Perth, the label has seen a series of moves and influences that have stuck with it to this day. 'Rolly Bump Vol 2', its second compilation, is a merging of all of those geographic influences, with contributions from Ireland, Japan, across Europe and Australia.

'Twerp', the work of Boorloo-based producer Aphid, is a nod to deep, dark and hypnotic dancefloors. The producer, who cites the likes of Unai Trotti, Smagghe, Ciel and XDB as influences, has shared a track versatile enough for the club or big outdoor systems. "Layers of broken percussion, tweaked-out acid & a healthy dose of 40hz keeps this one skipping along," the label shared.

'Rolly Bump Vol 2' releases via Flip The Lid's Bandcamp this Friday, October 24.

PREMIERE: Aphid - 'Twerp' [Flip The Lid]

Identified Patient, the Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Job Veerman, is celebrated for his raw, high-energy sets that fuse techno, breaks, acid, dub, and jungle into unpredictable journeys. Rising through labels like Common Thread, Pinkman, Brokntoys, and Dekmantel’s UFO Series, he’s become a fixture at Dekmantel and De School, and now runs his own imprint, Nerve Collect, with Gamma Intel. With a relentless touring schedule and uncompromising sound, he remains one of the Netherlands’ most vital underground voices.
