The young master that is Kublai is back to grace CIA once again. 
Fresh off the back of his solo and collaborative label debuts last year, we’re excited to bring you the next step in the development of sound of this Manchester based talent. With an ability to turn his hand to a whole wealth of styles, he’s a great fit for the label, always bringing something fresh and for a range of occasions. 
Deep, musical, rolling – Kublai always seems to have all the weapons at his disposal – and his new ‘Don’t Rush’ EP is no exception. He’s already got his drums on lock and the bass has got the necessary fizz and weight in spades too. And the song writing just keeps improving as he starts to really find his own palette. ‘Don’t Rush’ and ‘No Unity’ bring the rolling dancefloor vibe, while another collab with studio ally Minor Forms sees Jungle flavours bought to the fore. And an exciting meeting of minds and first linkup with young vocal talent Aaliyah Esprit on ‘Pushin’’ is one for the lovers, not the fighters. 
Kublai seems like he can do it all. We’re excited to bring you his next four heaters here with the new ‘Don’t Rush’ EP.

Zero T - I Just Can't

Stream/Downlod -https://hypeddit.com/subwave/thinkgestremix

Breathing new life into a Shogun Audio classic, GEST returns to the label on remix duties for Subwave's underground classic 'Think'.

Originally released in 2008 as the A-side to Subwave's debut release on Shogun, 'Think' reached anthemic status with mass support from all the major D&B DJs at the time. GEST's 2024 reimagination of the track captures all the brilliance of the originals' infectious groove and pulsing basslines whilst incorporating their dancefloor-orientated, rolling sound.

This remix is also part of the 20 Years Of Shogun Audio LP, a 20-track deep album that features 10 exclusive remixes of our catalogue’s most legendary releases alongside 10 pieces of groundbreaking new music from a selection of drum and bass’ most exciting talents.

Command Strange - Unreleased EP Vol.5 [Bandcamp Exclusive]

The precocious talent that is Ed:It is back on CIA, with four new slappers for ya lugholes. We’re always happy to have young Ed on the label, and it was about time for his next outing with us—but he’s really outdone himself this time with his brand new ‘Engines EP’. 

Since ‘The Keep EP’ in 2023, it’s been impossible to keep Ed:It down, as he’s hit relentlessly with a slew of heaters on a who’s who of top labels. He still stays true to the sound and vibe he’s always had, but the levelling up on the studio skills is always immediately evident in his recent work. 

With nods to Jungle, Tech Step, Rollers—and basically just absolute club weapons, this EP is going to go straight into the record box of a whole host of DJs. So please welcome Ed:It back to the CIA fold once again—this guy knows how to bring the heat!

Let's be honest. How many seven year old junglists do you know of? Well, the boy who would become Command Strange was just such a child. Growing up in Kazakhstan, the lure of his older brother's jungle and drum 'n' bass proved irresistible, and exposure to the music of icons like Roni Size, Aphrodite, and LTJ Bukem laid the foundations for what was to follow.

By the age of sixteen Command Strange was already releasing music. With a focus on the melodic side of DnB, he quickly got the attention of the scene's elite. The likes of Bryan Gee, Jumpin Jack Frost, Goldie, Hype, Bukem, Fabio & Grooverider regularly supported his productions, and with airplay on prestigious stations like BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, his reputation as one to watch was secured.

And he hasn't slowed down since.

Releases on Fokuz, Metalheadz, Good Looking, Integral, Grid, Horizons, Hospital and Med School have proven his versatility, with the Command Strange sound evolving to encompass harder, nastier styles alongside his pristine musicality. In a scene where releasing one artist album is a major achievement, Command Strange's back cat already includes three of them, “Soul Booster” and “Episode 91” on Fokuz, and “Joy”, his team-up with Intelligent Manners, on Marky's Innerground imprint.

Now exclusively signed to the V Recordings family, and with a reputation as a deejay that's seen him hype crowds across Europe and beyond, Command Strange has racked up achievements that are distant dreams for many artists twice his age. Even so, as he continues to develop, collaborate, and innovate, there's no doubt there are many more incredible things to come for Command Strange. Watch carefully.
