The young whippersnapper is back - and you best believe he’s back to snap 
some necks with Part Two of his pretty astounding ‘Tough Love’ project. 

Hot off the heels of the first three bangers of the series, young Cheddar but not cheesy warrior Myth has got another three whoppers that are going to float your boat, tickle your fancy and sizzle your salami - and they’re also going to do a fair bit of damage in the club too - so we recommend you get them in that already almost unliftable box of dubpplates that you’re doing your best to lug around, despite your back screaming no! Your USB will do fine too. 

Two solo tracks and a collab alongside the second best looking man in a leopard skin guntee, we could obviously only mean Black Barrel, these ones are mean, lean and will work a treat in your fighting machine. Go get em locked and loaded and you can thanks us and Myth with anything leopard print you care to cross our palms with. Thank you please.

Metal Storm

Failøver - Metal Storm (Premiere)

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.

The Myth, the legend. The Big Dog that is Myth is back for the final instalment of his Tough Love series with a most excellent Part 3. 

This fantabulous package is made up of two brand new solo tracks from the aforementioned Myth and Legend, and also a finger burning like you just stupidly put them on a still hot hob collab, with the also pretty damn hot new Manny-man-man-man of the moment, Kublai. Consequently we ask you, we ask you this, pretty pertinent question - what’s not to like about this rather delightful package? 

Sadly Myth didn’t want to be on the front of this said delightful package regaled in his most favourite codpiece, from his exceptionally large wardrobe of elaborate and bejewelled codpieces. We did ask him if he would, tried mightily to persuade him, but he said he’d like to save that for the next project. Because even though he’s obviously quite a big dawg these days, he felt he needs to be a even bigger dawg before he shows the world his most excellent codpiece collection. 

We guess it’s fair enough, but we were sad. So we’ll just have to immerse ourselves in yet more excellent music from the Cheddar man Myth. And here it is, as usual, on CIA.

The first single from Brain's brand new 'Trastorno EP' on Sofa Sound Bristol is a fully catchy groover alongside the unmistakable vocals of Manchester's Vispera.

"Trastorno EP" is a bold exploration of disorder and resilience, drawing from the raw intensity of punk and the relentless rhythms of drum and bass. The title, rooted in the Spanish word for "disorder," reflects the chaos of modern existence—psychological struggles, societal disarray, and the turbulence of identity in a fractured world.

The EP channels the artist’s roots, weaving cultural heritage into the sonic landscape. Traditional Latin American rhythms and emotional textures subtly emerge, reimagined through a punk-inspired lens of defiance and individuality. It’s a testament to the struggle of holding onto one’s identity while adapting to new realities, creating a bridge between past and present, tradition and rebellion.

Emotionally, "Trastorno EP" is a cathartic release—an expression of frustration, hope, and transformation. Socially, it shines a light on human fragility and the resilience needed to navigate inequality, mental health, and cultural displacement. Each track serves as both a personal manifesto and a collective call to reflect, adapt, and find harmony amidst chaos.

Minor Forms joins forces with the enigmatic Bristol artist Amoss for the creation of the underground anthem, 'LTK.' While the cryptic title may initially evoke images of James Bond's 1989 film, 'Licence to Kill,' it's actually the iconic Nintendo 64 game, 'Goldeneye 007,' that served as the true inspiration. Drawing heavily from the game's distinct soundscapes and atmospheric textures, Minor Forms and Amoss have masterfully sampled and reimagined these elements, crafting a track that perfectly captures the thrilling and enigmatic vibe of the legendary game.
