Taken from 'Inviting Chaos' Album: https://microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/inviting-chaos

The first single from Akuratyde’s forthcoming album Inviting Chaos, Ripples shapes a vivid sonic world that’s both chaotic and serene, embodying the duality of joy and disarray. A glitched-out 2-step beat and funky bassline give way to shimmering pads and arpeggios, balancing energy with introspection. Ripples is a poignant reminder that creating space for others in your life often means surrendering to unpredictability.

Akuratyde - Ripples

https://microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/inviting-chaos

Akuratyde makes a bold and deeply personal statement with Inviting Chaos. The album explores the beautiful disorder of parenthood and the emotional complexities of intentionally inviting upheaval into your life. Marking his solo debut on Bop’s renowned Microfunk imprint, it reframes his signature sound into something brighter and more unpredictable.

There’s a sense of personal evolution woven throughout, from dancefloor-friendly rhythms to sparse microfunk beats, the album moves fluidly between styles, revealing a new facet of his sound. More than just a sonic shift, Inviting Chaos captures an emotional truth rarely expressed in electronic music: how deeply life changes when you willingly step into the unknown.

Nuage - Green Light

Out Now: microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/gradient-lp

Nuage emerges with a tantalising collection of 2-step tear-jerkers on his latest album 'Gradient' releasing via Microfunk Music on September 19th.

For over a decade, Nuage has built a reputation as one of electronic music’s most emotive voices, with celebrated releases on Project Mooncircle, Anjunadeep, 20/20 Vision, and Phonica Records, and regular radio support from BBC Radio 1. Following the vibrant Music of Branches (Absys, 2013), the lushly introspective Prints of You (Translation, 2014), and the genre-bending WILD (Project Mooncircle, 2017), Gradient marks a natural next step, refining his signature blend of moody synths, floating melodies, and broken 2-step rhythms into something intimate, ethereal, and timeless.

Each track on Gradient feels like a precious gem, balancing restraint and atmosphere with a subtle pull toward the dancefloor. UKG-inspired grooves set the foundation for much of the record, carrying Nuage’s trademark weightless touch. “Pausepoint” stands out as a highlight, where Nuage teams up with Microfunk Music label head Bop to push the tempo into drum & bass territory, providing a dynamic counterpoint to the album’s meditative flow. The surrounding tracks lean into hazy textures and shimmering percussion that unfold like half-remembered dreams.

Over the years, Nuage has become known for crafting electronic music that feels as personal as it is expansive, soundtracks for both solitary reflection and communal release. Gradient distills that duality, offering a record that is as much about listening as it is about movement, carried by a rare sensitivity to atmosphere and rhythm.

Release Date: 5th April 2019
Label: 20/20 LDN
Format: Digital // Limited edition 8” picture disc
Cat No: 2020LDN016

‘Cracks’ is the new album by ever-evolving producer Yip Wong aka Deft, set for release on 5th April 2019 via Ivy Lab’s 20/20 LDN label.

A body of work that is setting a milestone for the beats scene, ‘Cracks’ is a cinematic and powerfully emotive record by Deft, seamlessly brought together through lo-fi, immersive atmospheres and crisp, intricate beat-scapes. Shaking off the constraints of genre; Yip listened to albums by artists such as Grouper, William Basinki, Bibio and Arthur Russell to gain a better understanding of how these musicians and artists constructed narrative in their work. The album is a personal document to dealing with loss, the process of grief, and the release that comes through music.

“Since I started writing music, I’ve always wanted to put together an LP; a body of work narratively driven with a consistent and coherent voice. As I’m a firm believer in the journey/story that music can give and create, I always tried to apply my idea of an LP to most of my previous EPs. During a large period of time whilst releasing music as Deft, my sister was fighting cancer. Listening to and creating music during that time was really important for me, as a way to cope and deal with everything that was happening. After a long fight, my sister sadly passed away nearly four years ago. I deliberated a lot about deciding whether or not to talk about all of this but ‘Cracks’, although it has gone through a variety of iterations over the past three and bit years, has been my catharsis, and it revolves around grief and all of the ways in which I’ve dealt with the loss of my sister.”

Encompassing how he was feeling at the time, the title track ‘Cracks’ was the first piece he wrote. Deciding this would set the tone of the album, Yip began to use these samples and sounds as the palette for the rest of the tracks. As he continued to write, he focused on resampling and adapting from each previous sketch. Repeated notes, drones and pulses were something he tried to maintain throughout the album, to reflect on his thought processes during this time, and the oddly comforting but often debilitating effect these cycles had when they broke.

“Writing ‘Cracks’ has reinforced my own belief in sampling, resampling, recycling and recreating something out of something else. I sample a lot in music, be it creating my own samples from samples or whatever, and the album has come through this method of thinking. I also worked with one of my good friends Alphabets Heaven on ‘On The Wire’. We worked together solidly over a few sessions to write and record the bass that he played, and that was a process I thoroughly enjoyed; working with someone you know well and trust, and also having them be a part of something that personally means a great deal.”

The ambient tracks on ‘Cracks’ will be collected, along with a new track exclusive to the vinyl, on a limited edition 8” picture disc. The need for a physical format was important to Yip: the track ‘In Passing’ features a recording of Yip’s sister’s voice at the end, one of the only voice memos he had of her on his phone.

“I wanted my sister to be on the record in some way or another. We originally weren’t going to do vinyl for this release, but decided to do this 8” picture disc. Having ‘In Passing’ on vinyl means there is something physical that exists in the world that has my sister’s voice on it.”
