With the debut VA compilation of Basilica Blueprints laying the foundation for the label, Basilica now moves on to building higher and harder with the highly anticipated debut solo EP from UKBass heavy hitter, 9TRANE. 

9TRANE’s beginnings are a hard 140 instrumentalist featuring heavily previously on grime labels such as 1Forty have solidified hard hitting and gritty tonality to his sound. His progression into the 130 bass and techno scene then combined these elements with the groove and flow of techno and electro. 9TRANES percussion is a force to be reckoned with, slashing through the sonic walls of dark and dangerous basses and ethereal atmospherics.

The Slang EP builds a scene of intense suspense. Dark and ghostly halls of sound surround with distant swelling vocal cuts that build the wavering storm that is about to come crashing in. The storm then rolls in with an engulfing swell of deep and wobbling bass, sharp and crispy claps and percussion rolls through as the storm continues.
9TRANE’s releases have garnered the support of Jamz Supernova on BBC Radio 1Xtra, the mighty Loefah on Rinse FM and many many more, along with lining up alongside the likes of My Nu Leng, Opium Hum and Red Light.

9TRANE - Croydon Dub

BSC002’s debut EP from 9TRANE came shattering through with an installment of hard, stripped back UK Techno and Bass with great response from the community. Basilica now moves deeper and darker into the realms of heavy and complex percussion based dance music, with this instalment, BSC003.

Coming from Australia, Basilica’s newest family member - Lithe.

Lithe is quickly rising the ranks with a signature style combining complex hardware percussion rhythms creating rolling and sharp grooves layered with dark techno ambiences and spaces.

The Not a Pessimist EP is a journey of intensity, rise and fall and journey. The pace of each track is set from the get go yet as each piece progresses you find your body moving, changing and rising and falling with each subtle element added and taken away so smoothly it hits you on a subconscious level. Lithe’s sharp and relentless percussion work engulfs you with push and pull, energy, space and power and, in turn, transforms the listener by hypnotically grooving through the flawless percussion, combinations and strength.

Lithe's work has gained attention and support from labels such as Early Reflex, Flodoa and Enhancer. Expect to see much more of Lithe both in Australia and worldwide.

@syzuk self-released his Mindforms mini-LP in 2020, stepping away from the dancefloor to explore an expansive sonic world, ‘balancing the tranquility of the ecological world with the immediacy of the digital one'.

The original release was accompanied by a highly limited run of just 10 dubplates. Deeming this 6-tracker too good not to receive a proper pressing, Control Freak are proud to present the first ever complete vinyl run for Mindforms.

Alongside the record, Syz & Control Freak have curated Clubforms, a collection of remixes from some of our favourite producers, each bringing the original release firmly onto the dancefloor with their own production flourishes. @tammohesselink brings deep, European techno flavours to the slate.

"AV2 is not to be understood as a continuation of AV1, but rather as a supplement. It was about discovering a deeper level of detail in tracks. It's more about precision in arrangement and finesse in production. Nevertheless, they find their place in the club context and on the dance floor.

Once again, many thanks to the Yuku Crew, also for giving artists the chance to submit holistic works. Especially in terms of cover design, naming and track selection."

Alchemy: A Journey of Transmutation

In a laboratory forgotten by time, *Alchemy* comes to life. A place where science merges with magic, where every sound becomes an element to be transformed, combined, and transmuted. Each track represents a step in this sonic ritual, a path that challenges conventions and embraces the unknown.

The repeated sounds, familiar yet constantly evolving, are the tools of this modern alchemist. *Alchemy* is a quest, a journey through darkness and light, an aspiration to transform the ordinary into something rare, radiant, and timeless.
