The follow-up to last year's 'NQ State of Mind' mix project is headed by two of The North Quarter's most enduring artists: Redeyes and Fox. Mixtapes represent an important symbol of the formative years of many of the artists on this Amsterdam-based label and so it's only right that the tradition is continued by Redeyes and Fox, who both have a long history as music enthusiasts. Consisting solely of TNQ music - including 10 exclusives - this is NQ State of Mind, Vol 2.

  Throughout 31 tracks, mixed by 'smooth operator' Redeyes and backed with Fox's uplifting vocals, this is a journey through The North Quarter's five year catalogue. All artists that make the label the respected entity it is today are featured as well as some unexpected faces. The 10 exclusive tracks will be released on a 2x12” gatefold LP to accompany the mix.

Integration

/ɪntɪˈɡreɪʃ(ə)n/

Integration is a new venture with the purpose of finding, nurturing and releasing music/art from a new generation of artists and help incorporate some new names with the Cyberfunk™ brand.

We have been working with the people of ‘The Funk Forum’ to build a community, helping bring together new exciting talents, ideas and projects. Special thanks to Avanti for keeping the community inside our forum bubbling away and gathering the amazing music for this project.

This 8 track release showcases some of the freshest in global underground talents whom we have been keeping a close eye on.

With tracks from: Audiomission, Entita, Koax, Sam Harris, Simple technique, Stomp, Sublimit, Objective and Wings - Stylistically, this EP has a lot to offer.

From the rolling basses, crisp drums and jazzy pads of Entita’s ‘Paycheck’; a hard hitter with support from some of the scenes heaviest names, to Stomp’s halftime hit ‘Medusa’; which makes use of the extra space by filling the mix with deep subs, extensive sound design and luscious ethereal atmospheres, while keeping the signature punch, groove and weight you expect to hear from a Cyberfunk™ release.

We would also like to take a moment to mention Koax – ‘Iron Hand’ - a tenebrous journey; with dark and haunting undertones, raw electrical synths and moody basses.

Our boy Simple Technique is also back with another appearance on the label this time with: ‘Mean Regression’ - A progressive, organic and wobbly collection of sound design executed with precision and immense control. Contrary to his artist name, this music is far from simple…

Special thanks to all the artists involved in this project, not only musically... but visually too.

We strive to create a diverse platform for artists from any background to be involved in projects and would like to say a huge thanks to Edgar Medalla and Scann for their efforts on the artwork for this release.

Lowriderz are back at it with another smasher of an EP and if you thought their previous ‘Jungle Wars’ EP from 2018 was good, then open your ears and get ready to one foot skank all over again. Released everywhere on 12th June, this collection of beats is nothing short of a welcome return to the world of Serial Killaz.

‘Back’ is one dangerous lead to this EP that would no doubt take anything in its path and give it a good bashing. You know the vocal sample already and wrapping this around a single sine wave is the perfect complement alongside the regular breakbeat switches. 

Distant Future and Steppa Style link up for the ride on ‘Dub Stye’ and ‘No Shop Talk’ respectively. Both feature heavy ‘96 influences with pitch bent basslines, tons of vocal shots and bubbling beats that will have you sticking flyers from the past all over your bedroom, flicking up a lighter and trying to invent a time machine.

‘Dubplate’ and ‘Stop’ could have been a double A side release and their stark variations compliment each other perfectly. On one hand you have a tough roller with a singalong style riff. The flip, more of a flexed out riddim, however, both contain that all important Serial Killaz element. Original roots and foundation.

The flavour for 2020 is without a doubt full circle from the mid 90’s and if Lowriderz have anything to do with it, long may it continue.
