Shetlands raised, Malmö based producer Bolam has been building quite the reputation for himself with his exciting blend of future-facing UK techno, breakbeat, jungle and electro. Following a release on London’s Control Freak Recordings, Cheeky Music Group welcomes the emerging artist to the roster with the Thunderclap EP.

The title track is a left-field leaning blend of experimental electronics, pace-building techno and large breaks, all tied together under an umbrella of hair-raising atmospherics designed to excite and alarm. ‘Hype Shifter’ makes playful use of grimey textures and tones as this subby cut of breakbeat ventures deep into the underground with elements of Baltimore club.

‘Indecipherable’ is self-descriptive; a mutated electro cut that lends from a large pool of sub-genre to create something totally unique. Wait for the vocals after the halfway point, here Bolam has crafted one of the most exciting crossover tracks of the year.

Closing out the EP is TRULE bossman and man of the hour Al Wooton. The artist formerly known as Deadboy turns in a typically bassy, stripped back breaks remix of ‘Hype Shifter’ - one that should be going straight in any UK sound heads cart.

The Spy is on a mission for the 8th Kri release and it ends with a bang. Similar to Wessel's releases on Mechatronica and Osare! Editions, his signature sound keeps evolving by melting electro, EBM and wave into a hypnotising dystopian soundtrack.

His Kri debut is named Halt and Hack and it ranges from melancholic EBM-ish slow burners to mutated wave-meets-electro anthems, rounded with a nostalgic remix by the mighty Zement operator Kluentah.

A1. End This Now
A2. Interruption
A3. Hacking Mind
B1. Possessed

Rave To The Maximum - Missing Channel

Welcome to Kaijū & Features, a fantasy soundtrack that takes you on a joyride through a world of juicy basslines and analogue vibes. In this funky kingdom, where uplifting house grooves pimp themselves with a far eastern 80s scent, KX9000, Mangabey, Alva and Tour Maubourg wild their sceptre as a Megazord of French house. 
Infected by the sound of various Japanese masterminds like Soichi Terada, the gang jams a wild video game vibe into the French legacy shaped by Roulé and F Communications. So stop making excuses, get your speakers cranked up and tune in for another adventure of Blaq Numbers.
