Dumbanengue Sounds Vol. 31 - Wrack

Drawing inspiration from rhythm-driven styles such as UK Funky, Gqom, and Dancehall, WRACK transforms these influences into something unmistakably his own. Through percussive beatwork and melodic, atmospheric synth layers, he elevates the sound far beyond imitation, achieving a unique musical identity that feels both global and deeply personal.

The title track “Nika” embodies this approach, filled with diverse sonic elements rooted in global club culture, it defies easy categorization. Yet underneath the surface lies WRACK’s signature sense of rhythm and sound design, infused with a distinct temperature and tension that only his music carries. Tribal yet minimal, it stands as a masterfully refined and immersive work.

The EP also features two remarkable remixes. From Toulouse, France, Kaval delivers a floor-ready killer tune that highlights the percussive drive of the original while adding his own fluid, dance-focused groove. Meanwhile, Tokyo-based producer NirBorna offers a deeper, more introspective, and emotionally charged rework, expanding the EP’s sonic depth and scope even further.

Oi oi oi oi ... Montréjeau to Montpellier. Once again, South-West Connection is racking its brains. An original tool from V:Ra based on fierce breakbeats. And a percussive remix from Kaval using his usual recipe. Bonus samples taken from N64 video games.

Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

V:Ra - Oi

Returning to the Waystation once again; many occupants pass through this space on their separate travels, each creating their own line of intention and purpose. Sequence II is another snapshot of this moment in time. Cultures, influences and individuals have since changed, with a handful of remnants of the past enduring, perhaps the same in title but vastly different in substance and spirit. We see fourteen audio artists present their works for the Nostro Hood, representing their respective worlds.

Disparate styles, sound palettes, emotions and impacts span the collection; a magnified, intricate look into the lineage of each artist's personal exploration and conception of an aural pinnacle. Diverse in nature, yet wholly homogenous through the motivation to create movement in the body of organism. This compilation serves as an offering of said insight gathered by the NHS Xenologists.

Tracklist:

1. Yotah – Forever Chemicals
2. A-Tweed – Krokodilmumie
3. Musuama – Plakamadre
4. Matteo Coffetti – Echoes Resonance
5. Product Toss – Double Tap
6. Dayzero – Lustar
7. Ovid – That Can’t be Right
8. SHALT – Xed
9. Galtier – Gharial
10. Steel traxx – Skeleton Crew
11. Kahter – Cacodemon
12. Radeco Domar - Ensueño
13. Matthew Laundro – Defunct Schema
14. Druid – Weather Control

Our free-download series returns with DOSIS (@dosisxyz), the Ecuadorian-born, Denver-based duo of J BOLIVAR and MIRLO, joined by fellow innovator and RUTA collaborator Entrañas (@entranas) for their new single “Clout Chaser.”

Their blend of breaks, speed garage, Latin sonics, and Ecuadorian 'cortavenas' intensity already carves its own lane. “Clout Chaser” pushes it into a moodier, club-oriented zone, with powerful pop-leaning vocals warped for the underground.
