Otik - Cosmosis
Release date: 24 November 2023

London-based producer Otik releases his first album 'Cosmosis' on Martyn's label 3024. The 11-track LP signifies the fourth album on the imprint across its ten-year tenure, showcasing a more introspective side to Otik's musical output.

The album leans into delicate melodies, hazy atmospheres and lush analogue sounds, often evoking blissed-out feels and ripples of brilliant colour. Produced three years ago during lockdown, 'Cosmosis' comes after a period of spiritual struggles, where Otik questioned his faith, religious beliefs, and the concepts of right and wrong. While the pandemic allowed ample time for reflection, Otik translated these thoughts into music from his Peckham-based studio, later finding a home on 3024's evolving discography.

Following Otik's EP 'Soulo' in 2021, 'Cosmosis' marks the second release from the Bristol-born DJ and producer on 3024. This time, his sound stems from a broader palette, touching on slower, aerated ambient notes through to rugged D'n'B, displaying the far-reaching breadth, vision and maturity of Otik's aesthetic.

Keen to release a body of work that explores the journey of enlightenment and the struggles to get there, Otik drew inspiration from the luminary filmmaker Terrence Malick and how Malick portrayed ideas and philosophies in films like The Tree of Life and Voyage of Time. As a result, the record conveys a compelling narrative of rebirth, told through exquisite sound design and a push-pull pace that oscillates across the album.

The lead single 'Cosmosis' binds astral breakbeats with a star-lined melody stitched against a spacious backdrop. Sparse, celestial vocals punctuate the soundscape and add a spiritual feel, culminating in a dazzling trip at just over five minutes.

Losing Touch

We are thrilled to release a new 10 track compilation, 'fabric SELECTS II'. The project is a curated release celebrating bass music past and and present, arriving today on our new imprint for new music, fabric Originals. 

In addition to two singles already out ahead of the full compilation release – Skream’s remarkable return to dubstep ‘Summoned’ and emerging UK producer LUXE’s tension-filled ‘Duality’ – the compilation features original music from Le Motel & Flowdan, dBridge, Al Wootton, Neil Landstrumm and more. After SELECTS I’s techno compilation, SELECTS II puts focus on bass, featuring a host of the scene’s most creative and forward-thinking producers and stakes claim as fabric’s vision on what the future of the genre could sound like. 

Iconic figures in the bass music scene such as dBridge have contributed tracks. With a long-standing relationship with both fabric and FABRICLIVE club nights dBridge is a perfect fit for the fabric Originals debut bass compilation. His track ‘Ecstatic Madness’ exhibits the artist’s linchpin status in the scene perfectly; an atmospheric drum and bass track with haunting and immersive tones taking the listener through a deep bassline, intricate drums, and an evolving sense of impeding – yet welcome – danger. 


Elsewhere, “Wild Guide” brings the formidable East London grime MC Flowdan together with Brussels-based DJ and producer Le Motel for a gritty and glitchy production that sees Flowdan’s lyrical prowess come back “like-a-bad-habit” full force in the centre of the compilation, underpinned by Le Motel’s pin-point and intricately layered production. 


Meanwhile emerging and new-scene producers and creators such as Ehua, with the almost-glacial and growing ‘Gaida’, Kessler who follows Ehua by kicking it up a notch on ‘Simma’, and Bluetoof, whose penultimate track on the project ‘Inverted’ upends our expectations through subtle layers in the bassline and a consistent driving intensity, all work to ground the narrative of the project. 

Harriet Bliss of fabric Records, explains the curation of fabric SELECTS II: “With this compilation fabric are aiming to take on the future of bass music through an amalgamation of sounds that live in different spheres but marry together cohesively. From the club’s heritage sound in drum and bass, to slower tempos in techno, all complimented by London's seminal dubstep influence. These tracks carry the main theme of bass, paying homage to London's sound-system culture."

About fabric Originals 

After being launched in September 2022, our new addition to the family of labels (Houndstooth / fabric Records) has already seen a steady output of EPs, a techno-focused compilation, and a full album release from emerging electronic talent TYGAPAW. Further releases from Eris Drew & Octo Octa, DJ Bone, Helena Hauff and LCY – to name a few – fabric SELECTS II is the second compilation out on fabric Originals after SELECTS I’s techno-focused iteration. 

For fabric Originals, fabric SELECTS II marks a compelling addition to its fresh and rapidly growing catalog. The project will make groundbreaking work, not just from the first two singles from LUXE and Skream, but in its overall platforming of bass and hybrid club sound pioneers front-and-centre on a major new compiled works.

BROADCAST014: HomeSick

TSR's first official world premiere! Big up to the family at Joog Music

"When we started Joog we made it a point to include some SICK Jungle from friends around the world. We admit that we have been slipping away from our breaky roots! For our latest release, we got a special collection of Jungle tunes from DJ Airwalk. This young producer is coming in red hot out of Columbus, Ohio! He is full of life and beaming with good vibes. His album showcases his thorough understanding of Jungle music, intelligent and way beyond! The atmospheric pads on the opening track “In a Coma” hug and hold you in a way that will give you warmth on the coldest night. The breaks filter in before a delayed drum slice echos in a room shaped by gorgeous pads. The euphoric release that comes with the drum breaks and bassline only hits harder when the amens come into the track. This sense of push and pull is a consistent element through the album that really takes your breath away at times. The album flows like a river, with varying runoffs that could take you anywhere. Have no fear, DJ Airwalk is here to take you on a ride. His lush textures, militant choppage, and tasteful use of foley is gonna do some serious damage to any dancefloor these tracks hit!"

All tracks written and produced by DJ Airwalk

Big ups Sean "Seanni B" Barry for the baddass mastering!

Shout out Rau on the most gorgeous piece of cover art they have done for us yet!
