Thru My Head

RUBI001 - Skeptical - Thru My Head

When old meets new. When hair meets no hair. When two caps collide. It’s a lethal combination. We’ve seen them do it before, and they’re back once again with two more audio crimes of passion to step up the game for all the other wannabes out there. 

Zero T & Minor Forms continue their extremely fruitful musical partnership in the shape of a brand new single for our ever quality audio seeking home CIA, in the shape of ‘When I Step’ and ‘Crime Thing’. 

A double-A side if ever there might have been one, if we may say so ourselves, these both exude quality from every pore, from every orifice, from every stinking nasty part of their fine selves. Quality gear for any time or any situation, these two highly adept producers continue to deliver fine sonic weapons at every opportunity. And you best believe they’ll be happy to step to you and cause a crime scene if you want a problem!

Minor Forms & Zero T - Crime Thing

Blade is known for his explosive heavy amen rollers and captivating Jazz & Soul-infused beats. For the next instalment of the Dispatch Dubplate series this talented producer demonstrates his ability to fuse these contrasting influences with his love for the heritage sound of jungle drum and bass. 

True to the ethos of the Dispatch Dubplate sub-label, this release is built around another in-demand dubplate, with ‘Machete' forming the basis of this EP. A track that stood out in Ant TC1's post-COVID US tour with Doc Scott, the early Vedas master version caused maximum dancefloor impact with its classic AWOL era sound and raw lashy amen feel at 170bpm+. 

Across 5 further tracks Blade digs deep and delivers another homage to the world of contemporary breakbeat.

Minor Forms has created a steady reputation of late for blending deep atmospheric elements with a strong sense of musicality all backed up by a key knowledge of what works on the dancefloor. Strong recent releases on Sofa Sound & Flexout have led us to the pivotal point of CIA proudly releasing Minor Form’s debut LP ‘Room Two’. 

The title instantly puts the listener where Minor Forms wants them, throwing them back to his formative years spent in headsy Room 2s, soaking up the underground sounds of London in clubs and warehouses where his love for the atmospheric took hold. The album forms two halves, the first being an exploration of his sound as a solo producer, the second half sees him collab with close friends, formulating the experience of raving side by side in that smoked out second arena. This is an album that transports you to into that venue; dark, low ceilings, hoods up, caps down just vibing to the music. 

Kicking off with the rolling sounds of Original, perhaps the first tune you hear when you step in the club. You walk down the stairs into the basement and we are straight in, minimal, impactful, lets grab a drink and ride the wave. 

The title track Follows and engulfs you; ‘Room Two’ has huge driving subs that will pulse through any cavernous space, guaranteed to get a massive reaction while ‘Rushing Blind’ brings more of the same pounding, pulsating breaks that will make any main room or room 2 crew shock out until the lights come on. 

Any decent club needs a smoking area, or possibly the smoking area for Minor Forms means the back of the dance, back wall holding down the corner with your friends, this is the vibe you get from listening to ‘Tell You’; an unapologetic zoned out garage/breakbeat stepper showcasing Minor Forms versatility of a producer. 

Kathryn Brenna’s vocal shines on ‘Let go’, while CIA bosses Total Science, who themselves are no strangers to turning multiple room 2’s upside down over two decades of D&B contributions 
come with the pulsating ‘Close Call’, which also features Manchester’s rising star Kublai. This one thumps and wobbles in equal measure to devastating effect… Instant reload! 

In Room Two the selections get deeper on ‘Not Alone’ with Note; shoulder to shoulder atmospherics meeting driving expansive pads. The minimal stepper ‘Till close’ with Composite ends proceedings; the lights turn on, heads look up and the night is rounded off with a round of applause from the crowd. 

‘One More tune?’ Sorry security is not having it, but luckily you can rewind the album and go again. 

A real coming of age project for Minor Forms, an ode to his legacy whilst having one eye firmly on the future, we are excited to invite you all to Room Two, no egos, no VIP lanyards, just good music.

Nyxtape: Vol.2 - Felov

It’s a rare treat to get new Arcatype music. Three passionate music lovers who are striving to put music first, art first, meaning first. It can be hard to find sometimes. But this is what Arcatype do, and this is why when they proffer new music, it means something. And why we therefore obviously love to sign their music. 

And so we’re delighted to welcome them back for their latest outing with us, a solid two-tracker in the form of ‘Snow Days’ and ‘Split The Harp.’ 

The trio are in no rush to flood the market with music, or release something just for the sake of it. Waiting until they can all be in the studio together to write, an almost forgotten art and methodology, they carefully craft their tracks with a love and detail that sometimes seems to be missing these days. And it’s no different with their latest single. 

We hope you enjoy these as much as we are, and that you hear and feel the passion and meaning they put into their craft.
