The title had me thinking hip hop for obvious reasons....how wrong was I?

Interesting piece. Love the "acid tinge".

Dunno how I missed this before. New favourite!

The conflict continues....

The aftermath of "The Great Brain Robbery" is underway. The Artificial Intelligence has won the battle but not the war.

"Project : Cassandra" is in development as the humans fight back.

What will the future hold?

INDEx Live #18 - Dark Fidelity Hifi

https://soundcloud.com/nick_wilkinson

"Left Hand Drive" is the debut release from Wilks.

Drawing on influences from all around the electronic sphere, this Cheltenham based producer has delivered an outstanding EP that melds together elements of drum n bass, IDM, garage, ambient and electronica to create a sonic experience that buries itself somewhere between blurry memories and the present moment.

The meticulous production process of Wilks is evident throughout. Carefully designed rhythmic elements intertwining alongside gleaming melodies and glistening pads with ease. There's a cinematic and sentimental edge within each track and all six on offer here get a turn in expressing their own unique character, emotion and identity.

"Left Hand Drive", as a whole, lays down a marker for this new artist. Wilks is already carving a sound of his own and we're delighted to be able to introduce him to the world.

"Left Hand Drive" is available on bandcamp

Our third release of 2024 sees the arrival of Neo Dymium, on the label.

Four metallic shards of electronic music . Hoovering up influences from electro, techno, IDM, trance, dub and breaks. This vortex of noise pulls and pushes the listener in all manner of directions, as it spirals around the speakers.

Dense and precise rhythms climb their way over and under the stocky bass and razor sharp synth lines, on the more club orientated tracks. Gritty but emotive.

While the closing track brings down the curtain with a textured and glitch laden thump. Chewed up soundscapes fusing with murky beats. Squeaking and squirming its way through a dark tunnel before finally twisting its way out to give us a corrosive finale and a hefty full stop on the debut of Neo Dymium.

At The Centre Of A Tension

Two of the most unique producers on our roster have, unsurprisingly, managed to rustle up one of the most unique tracks on the 'Dyadic' album. 

"The Chronic" sees the melodic nature of both 'Devras Plexi' and 'The Oscilloscope' come to to the fore as they cross paths in an acid tinged wedge of bright electronica layered with abstract textures and bouncing beats.
